1896 $2.50 Liberty NGC PF67 CAM
<b>1896 &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded PF67 CAM.</b> NGC #163588001. With a limited original mintage of 19,070 business strikes and 202 Proofs, the 1896 is an understandably scarce coin at all levels of preservation. David W. Akers opines that most survivors are either Mint State or Proof. According to Walter Breen &#40;1988&#41;, the specimen strikings are attributable by having the date far to the right in the obverse field below Liberty&#39;s portrait. This is just such an example, a starkly glowing gem with cameo finish providing an assurance of Proof status. The fields are deeply reflective with a lovely orange-peel texture, whereas the devices are richly frosted with an almost matte-like texture. Neither side exhibits anything less than needle-sharp striking detail. Free of distractions this coin would serve as a centerpiece in any collection of 19th century Proof gold.
