1890 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle PR-65+ DCAM PCGS CAC
In the year 1890, the Philadelphia Mint produced an incredibly small run of proof coins for the Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle series. Only 93 of these special specimens were struck, making any surviving example an extraordinary find for those who appreciate the finest details of late nineteenth-century American coinage. This specific coin has been certified in a spectacular Proof 65 Plus Deep Cameo (PR-65+ DCAM) condition, a grade that highlights the intense contrast between the frosted design elements and the deeply mirrored fields. It has also received recognition from for its exceptional quality within the grade. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with a weight containing 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin features the classic Liberty design on the obverse, with the date 1890 clearly visible beneath the portrait. As is typical for Philadelphia issues of this era, it bears no mint mark, standing as a testament to the precision of the main United States mint facility during a golden age of coinage production.
