1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Proof-65 Ultra Cameo (NGC).，This carefully preserved, visually appealing Gem half eagle is from a mintage of just 88 Proofs. Golden yellow surfaces are pristine in appearance and support sharp to full striking detail throughout. Bold cameo contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields enhances this coins already significant appeal. As with all issues in the Proof Liberty Head half eagle series, the 1890 is rare and seldom offered in todays market. An estimate of 35 to 50 coins extant from <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em> seems generous in our experience; we believe the range of 20 to 25 survivors provided by Ron Guth and Jeff Garrett (2008) is closer to reality. This is one of the finest examples that we can recall handling, and as a highlight of the extensive Proof gold offerings in this sale is sure to see spirited bidding.，PCGS# 98485. NGC ID: 28CU.，NGC Census: 8; 6 finer in this category (Proof-67+ * Ultra Cameo finest).，
