Lot 1384
1899 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 67 Ultra Cameo. Star. Beautiful golden toning. An impressive cameo jewel with richly textured, ultra frosted devices set against deep molten pools of reflective gold. From top to bottom, the surface ripples with watery reflection. Considerably fewer than the original mintage in Proof exist today, and far too few Superb Gems like this to satisfy the ever-growing demand. Of the extant specimens, the present coin sits serenely with few others. To see this coin is to fall in love with it! 150 minted. Pop 6; 8 finer; 7 in 68; 1 in 68 Star.
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
