Key Features:
Date: 1886
Type: Seated Liberty Quarter
Mint: Philadelphia (no mintmark)
Grade: PR64+ (Proof 64 Plus)
Designation: DCAM (Deep Cameo) – indicating strong contrast between the frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields
Grading Company: CACG (Certified Acceptance Corporation Grading) – a newer grading service backed by CAC, known for strict standards
CAC Endorsement: The "+" and DCAM suggest it’s among the finer examples for the grade, likely with exceptional eye appeal
Background:
Only 886 proof quarters were minted in 1886, making this a scarce coin even in circulated grades, and more so in high-grade proof with deep cameo contrast.
Seated Liberty design (1838–1891) by Christian Gobrecht features Liberty seated with a shield and a pole with a cap, symbolizing freedom and readiness to defend it.
This specific coin would appeal to high-end collectors due to its combination of rarity, eye appeal, and strong third-party endorsement.
