<b>1885 &#36;2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded PF65 DC.</b> Pop: 1/0. Quarter eagle Proof production was, as always, the prerogative of the Philadelphia Mint in 1885, and a meager 87 pieces were produced &#40;Only 800 business strikes of these coins were made as well.&#41; Proof survivors tend to be in demand, therefore, from their overall scarcity as well as to their rarity in high grades. Needless to say, this lovely Gem Proof issue is rare in &#34;deep cameo&#34; condition. Since many of these coins are impaired, and still others are noticeably hairlined, finding one as crisply original as this takes some doing. Pleasingly original and obviously well preserved since the time of issue, the present example is deeply colored in reddish-orange shades. The fields are sparkling mirrors whose glow is deep and resplendent, and also exhibit the much beloved &#34;orange peel&#34; texture found on Proofs of this vintage. These contrast nicely against the heavily frosted devices. Best of all, the surfaces do not reveal any worrisome contact marks. An accurately graded Gem.
