Lot 2215
1871 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo. This is the only Deep Cameo of the date graded by PCGS, and was likely one of the very first (if not the first) coin struck by the proof dies. With each successive strike, more of the frosty cameo finish wears off the dies from when they are first prepared, and the contrast is reduced coin by coin. The true Deep Cameo proofs are very rare, on some dates they are unknown, or perhaps with just a single coin seen. The premiums for these remain low, but their potential is very great as more and more collectors desire to own one of these spectacular early proof strikes. Clean surfaces and with just a hint of gold toning, and mile deep frost on the devices.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
