<B>1890 $2 1/2 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS.</B></I> Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) write: "The mintage for the quarter eagle increased again in 1890 to the levels of production seen in the late 1880s. The demand for Proof gold coinage must have increased about this time as well because the number of surviving examples is dramatic. There are probably more than 50 specimens of the 1890 Liberty Head quarter eagle known. This includes two choice examples in the Smithsonian." Slightly over 30 proof 1890 quarter eagles have been seen by PCGS and NGC, along with nearly 20 Cameos, and a little over 20 Deep/Ultra Cameos.<BR> This Gem Deep Cameo specimen displays lovely brass-gold color and crisply impressed design elements. Frosted motifs stand out against spectacular deep mirrored fields, and both sides are devoid of mentionable marks. Population: 2 in 65 Deep Cameo, 4 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
