1899 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle PR-68 DCAM PCGS

---

In 1899, the Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 150 proof specimens of the Liberty gold quarter eagle. This incredibly low mintage makes any surviving example a notable numismatic find, but to encounter one preserved in such an extraordinary state of preservation is truly remarkable. This specific coin has achieved an elite grade of Proof 68 Deep Cameo (PR-68 DCAM), denoting its virtually flawless surfaces and the intense, frosted contrast between the raised design elements and the mirror-like fields. Struck from 90 percent pure gold with a metal content of 0.1209 troy ounces, this 2.50 dollar denomination features the classic Liberty design on its obverse, accompanied by the date 1899. The reverse displays the heraldic Eagle alongside the denomination, abbreviated as 2 1/2 D. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia facility, it bears no mintmark, standing as a pristine testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the era.
