Lot 2380
1897 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 62 Ultra Cameo. Nice untoned example. Pop 1; 24 finer. The heavy mint frost on the devices has the color of warm golden brown and rises from the reflective field in stark relief. Even the stars are 100% bold including their radials, which seems only fitting since Proofs comprise just 136 pieces out of the total Proof & business strike production of 29,904 in 1897.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
