1890 Proof Set PR64 to PR66 NGC
<B>1890 Proof Set PR64 to PR66 NGC.</B></I> Comprises six coins from the cent through silver dollar. The minor proof sets were made to the extent of 2,740 pieces, and the silver proof sets, 590 coins:<BR><BR><B>Cent PR65 Red and Brown. </B></I>A sharply struck brick-red example, mellowing to magenta on much of the reverse and the obverse highpoints. A couple of faint water spots appear in the toning under a loupe, but still attractive.<BR><BR><B>Nickel PR65. </B></I>A sharp, lovely, lightly toned Gem with tinges of yellow, carmine, and ice-blue on both sides. The usual strike weakness shows on the lower left ear of corn.<BR><BR><B>Dime PR64. </B></I>Olive-gray and iridescent amber-gold toning on each side subdues the luster somewhat, but there is still moderate reflectivity, particularly on the reverse.<BR><BR><B>Quarter PR65. </B></I>Business strikes saw a low mintage of 80,000 coins. This proof offers iridescent steel-blue, golden-red, and lilac toning with a silver area remaining on the obverse. A moderately reflective piece with some cameo contrast, although unrecognized.<BR><BR><B>Half Dollar PR66. </B></I>A virtual match for the quarter, with silver centers on both sides and iridescent steel-blue and lilac patina. A sharply struck and virtually unmarked example of this low-mintage issue.<BR><BR><B>Morgan Dollar PR65. </B></I>Intense olive-gold and aqua tones grace each side, with moderately reflective surfaces remaining underneath the deep color. A sharp, attractive, and problem-free example that appears conservatively graded.<BR><BR><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
