Lot 1306
1890. PCGS graded Proof 68 Deep Cameo. Fully brilliant with frosty design elements, glittering mirror fields, and a high sharp wire edge. Virtually as nice as the moment it came from the dies. It's difficult to imagine that a nicer specimen could exist. As a pedigree identifier, a tiny dark spot is above Liberty's cap between stars 8 and 9 on the obverse. From a scant proof mintage of 590 pieces, one of the lowest production figures for the design type. By this year the coin market had reached a recent low, having been in overdrive during the 1880s. The market would remain quiet for most of the decade, then revive with vigor early in the 20th century. Pop 2; none finer at both services. (PCGS # 95591) .
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
