Lot Description

1887 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). Radiant, untoned surfaces allow ready appreciation of deeply mirrored fields and satiny, boldly struck devices. There are no distracting contact marks, as one should expect at the Gem grade level, and a small lint mark in the right reverse field is as struck. Part of the low mintage run of issues near the end of the Liberty Seated quarter series, the 1887 was produced to the extent of just 10,000 circulation strikes and 710 Proofs. PCGS# 95588. Provenance: From David Lawrence's sale of the Richmond Collection, Part III, March 2005, lot 1558. NGC Census: just 6; 10 finer in this category (Proof-67 Cameo finest).
