1887 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle


1887 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle

Proof Mintage: 122
Obverse Text: 1887 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | 2 ½ D.

The total mintage for the year was 122 pieces of which perhaps 50 are known in all grades today. Gems are the most prized, and at the Proof-66 level there are just two seen with the Deep Cameo contrast, and none finer. Proof gold coinage of this era is especially beautiful as the Philadelphia Mint had perfected the contrast on Proofs.
