- Lot Description
- 1896 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-62 Cameo (NGC). A rare coin in this format as a mere 132 were produced for the year, and boasting good contrast between the devices and reflective fields. The surfaces have scattered handling marks and shallow scuffs but lack the copper spots or deep marks that are often found on these delicate surfaces. Strong orange-peel effect when studied under a light source and attractive for the modest grade assigned.
