1898 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle PR-67 Cameo PCGS

---

In 1898, the Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 165 proof specimens of the Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle. This incredibly small production run makes any surviving example a true marvel of nineteenth-century American coining. Striking proof coins in such limited numbers was a specialized process, resulting in a level of detail and finish that far exceeded the standard circulating coinage of the era. This specific coin has achieved an extraordinary grade of Proof 67 Cameo, indicating a magnificent level of preservation and visual contrast. The Cameo designation highlights the beautiful frosted appearance of the design elements against the deeply mirrored fields of the background. Composed of 90 percent gold, this 2.50 dollar denomination features the year 1898 on its obverse, representing a pinnacle of late Victorian-era minting artistry.
