1890 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle PR-66+ DCAM PCGS CAC

---

In 1890, the Philadelphia Mint produced an incredibly small run of proof coins for the Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle series, with a total mintage of just 93 pieces. This exceptionally rare issue is composed of 90 percent gold, containing approximately 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia facility, it bears no mint mark. This specific specimen has been preserved in an extraordinary state of preservation, certified at the elite grade of Proof 66 Plus with Deep Cameo contrast (PR-66+ DCAM). The deep cameo designation highlights the intense, frosted details of the design contrasting against highly reflective, mirror-like fields, a visual effect that is highly prized by numismatists. It has also received approval from the Corporation () for its exceptional quality. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars with the date 1890 below. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination 2 1/2 D.
