✨ DLRC’s Thursday, June 4th Red Carpet Rarities Auction Highlight! ✨
🌟 1898 $2.50 PCGS PR68DCAM ex: D.L. Hansen 🌟
Near-Flawless!
An extraordinary Deep Cameo Proof Quarter Eagle, and one of the finest known survivors of this classic proof gold issue.
While the 1898 boasts a comparatively larger proof mintage of 165 coins, only around 100 examples are believed extant today. This breathtaking PR68DCAM specimen stands near the top of the census, with just one finer example at PCGS.
Pristine mirrored fields, razor-sharp frosted devices, and vibrant yellow-gold color combine to create phenomenal eye appeal. The surfaces are virtually untouched, enhanced by flashy luster and attractive orange-peel texture throughout the fields.
With elite technical quality and the prestigious D.L. Hansen pedigree, this near-perfect proof gold rarity belongs in the finest advanced collections.
