<B>1884 $2 1/2 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS.</B></I> The 1884 quarter eagle proof comes with a mintage of 73 coins. It is a very rare issue, with probably 30 to 40 pieces known in all grades. A little more that 40 examples have been graded by PCGS and NGC, and another 30 or so are assigned the Cameo designation. To date, PCGS has seen only one Deep Cameo, and NGC one Ultra Cameo. Additional date collector pressure is placed on the 1884 quarter eagle, as only 1,950 business strikes were made.<BR> The peach-gold surfaces of this near-Gem example display beautiful gold-on-black contrast, and the design elements are crisply and uniformly struck. Close examination reveals no significant marks. The only pedigree markers that we can discern are a couple of alloy spots below the I in AMERICA.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
