Title: 1884 25¢. Proof-66 Cameo NGC
Header: Gem Cameo Proof 1884 Quarter
Description: A satiny beauty with sharp and frosted motifs set against reflective fields. Splashes of deep golden-gray adorn the otherwise brilliant obverse, while the reverse offers a display of varied gold, blue, and crimson toning. The devices are fully rendered down to the tiniest details, including Liberty’s hair and the star centers on the obverse, and the ringlets on the eagle’s talons on the reverse are present and accounted for. Just 8,000 circulation strikes of the date were produced in a year when Morgan dollars were the top priority at the sundry U.S. mints. For just this reason, many collectors “settle” for a Proof of the date – 850 struck -- owing to the rarity of Gem Mint State pieces. If a top-of-the-line model is what you’re seeking to represent the date or the type, you’ll do well to give this especially attractive coin a glance -- and more.
NGC Census: 11; 11 finer (Proof-69 Cameo finest).
