1877 $2.50 Liberty PCGS Proof 64 DCAM Mint Error
<b>1877 &#36;2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded PF64 DC.</b> Pop: 1/1. Mint Error defective planchet obverse; laminated reverse. A sharply struck and flashy specimen, light original honey patina bestows its beauty over the frost of the portrait and eagle as well as in the fields. Virtually gem quality, as one would expect from the lofty grade of Proof 64, although marred a bit by a reverse lamination caused by an occlusion or impurity underneath the surface on the reverse. A mere 20 proof 1877 quarter eagles were struck. The joint results of NGC and PCGS show eleven pieces in all grades, and it is more than likely that several among these are multiple submissions. While Proof double eagles command most of the attention, pre-1880 Proof quarter eagles are also remarkably rare and yet can be found for significantly less money &#40;although these rarely appear in auctions&#41;.
