Lot 4403
1899 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo PQ. CAC Approved. Lovely rich golden toning. Only 150 struck. An very beautiful example of the date. Splendid gold color with fiery underlying luster. The devices are heavily frosted while mirrors are smoothly reflective; when describing vivid contrast such as offered here we call this two-tone or "Ultra Deep" cameo. One of only a handful of the Proofs of the date to survive in tip-top condition, with possibly north of one hundred or so Proofs still accounted for in lesser conditions. One glance at this lovely gem convinces us bidders need never search for one higher up the grading ladder to obtain a gorgeous gem Proof of 1899. Pop 5; 16 finer; 9 in 67; 7 in 668. (PCGS # 7925) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
