1895 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo. In NGC holder 3183528-001. An exquisite totally brilliant Ultra Cameo gem specimen! Magnificent field-to-device contrast is perhaps the first facet that a viewer sees when examining this breathtaking Gem Ultra Cameo Proof, although it is not the only one. Far from it. Deep, flashy brilliant gold color is also a praiseworthy qualification, as are sharp devices whose stark contrast improves the "cameo" illustration all the more. There is not a single carbon spot and any hairlines are so faint they disappear into the golden glow streaming off the surfaces. Again, a meaningful Gem Proof for the advanced collector to ponder carefully and bid aggressively when the decision is made to bid. Only 119 proofs struck. Pop 11; 11 finer with 3 in 66*, 5 in 67, 2 in 67*, 1 in 68* (PCGS # 7921) .
Estimated Value $22,000 - 24,000.
