<B>1871 $2 1/2 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC.</B></I> The recorded proof mintage of 30 examples attests to the rarity of this issue. PCGS has graded only a single Deep Cameo piece, a PR63 specimen, while this piece is one of two PR64 Ultra Cameo pieces at NGC, with none finer (11/06). In fact, neither service has certified a Gem proof of this date, regardless of the degree of contrast, and there are only 13 pieces at both services, less the inevitable resubmissions. The lump on the neck below the lovelock is a diagnostic of genuine proofs (per the Breen <I>Proof Encyclopedia</B></I>), and the date is quite high and close to the bust. The luscious, deeply contrasting yellow-gold fields yield to a glint of magenta near the obverse rim.<BR><I>From The RNB Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
