1884 $2 1/2 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1884 is a seldom offer <B>1884 $2 1/2 PR67 Cameo NGC.</B></I> The 1884 is a seldom offered proof Quarter Eagle issue, one of mere 73 specimens originally struck and at most half of that figure surviving as recognizable proofs. The glittering Superb Gem offered here is quite possibly the finest known example of the date. It is a visually stunning coin whose deeply reflective fields show evidence of heavy die polishing, with faint striations seen in the fields. Three microscopic depressions in the vicinity of Liberty's brow are Mint caused, as is a short lint mark between star 11 and the portrait. These are of no particular distraction and do not affect the technical merits of the piece, but may prove useful for future attribution. What is important is this specimen's status as the highest graded 1884 proof Quarter Eagle by either major certification service. Population: 1 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (11/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:30414
