1895 $2.50, DCAM PR (PCGS#97921)

The Regency Auction XIV October 2015

Losbeschreibung: Fantastic depth of reflectivity with the fields falling away from the frosted devices with ease and showing the familiar orange peel texture when studied. Considerable frost resides on the devices, and in particular on Miss Liberty’s face and neck. There is a wire rim around much of the obverse. To offer this extreme depth of Cameo contrast, this must have been one of the first of the 119 pieces struck this year in the proof format. PCGS has graded a modest number with this Deep Cameo designation, but most of this issue would fall into the regular proof or Cameo category. An amazing coin that is a visual treat to examine. There are three reported at the PR67 DCAM in the PCGS Population Report and this is the sole PR66+ DCAM they have seen. While collecting always brings opportunities, it is indeed a rare chance to buy one of these Deep Cameo Proofs, as they tend to stay tied up in long term collections where they are enjoyed for their incredible visual appeal. PCGS 7, NGC 10, CAC 6. A similar coin realized $32,313.00 (6/15) recently, and we feel it should be worth more. An impressive and desirable coin for the ages!
