<B>1855 25C PR64 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> The 1855 proof quarter has an unknown, but certainly limited, mintage. Walter Breen, in his <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins</B></I>, simply says "Possibly 20 proofs known," while Larry Briggs, in his discussion of the 1855 Arrows quarter in <I>The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters,</B></I> indicates "15+ proofs." NGC and PCGS have certified a total of 18 specimens, six of which are designated Cameos.<BR> A solid strike emboldens the design elements of this near-Gem Cameo example, all of which stand out against the mirrored fields. Close examination of the untoned surfaces reveals no marks worthy of mention. A small, inoffensive mark in the middle of Liberty's right (left facing) arm, however, might be useful in identifying the coin. Census: 1 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (2/08). <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
