1887 $2.50 Liberty PCGS PR64 CAC
Step into the golden age of American coinage with the 1887 $2.50 Liberty Head Proof Quarter Eagle, certified PR64 by PCGS and CAC verified for exceptional quality. This remarkable coin is a standout in the Liberty Head series, struck in limited numbers exclusively for collectors at the Philadelphia Mint. In 1887, just 121 proof examples were produced—each meticulously hand-polished and struck multiple times to achieve a brilliant, mirrored finish.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Head motif features Lady Liberty, crowned with a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” surrounded by 13 stars that symbolize the original colonies. The reverse features a bold heraldic eagle clasping arrows and an olive branch, echoing the nation’s strength and desire for peace.
This PR64 specimen boasts rich detail, frosted devices, and mirrored fields—hallmarks of a quality proof strike. The CAC sticker further confirms this coin’s outstanding eye appeal and superior quality within the grade.
Containing 0.1209 troy ounces of .900 fine gold and measuring 18mm in diameter, this coin is both a historic artifact and a tangible store of value. With its low mintage, high-grade preservation, and CAC endorsement, the 1887 $2.50 Liberty Proof is a rare acquisition for both advanced numismatists and legacy-focused collectors.
A LITTLE STICKER MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Within each number of the coin grading scale is a small range of condition from low-end to high-end. Certified coins of the same grade can be of varying quality. Many of today’s collectors want coins that are solid or premium quality for their assigned grade. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so you can be confident in the value of yours. We verify previously graded coins … and award our sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
WHAT THE CAC STICKER MEANS:
- Verified. Your coin has been verified as meeting the standard for strict quality within its grade.
- Guaranteed. CAC stands behind our verification.
THE CAC STICKER IS BACKED BY EXPERIENCE.
CAC was founded by leading members of the numismatic community, including John Albanese, a respected authority on coin grading and the rare coin market.
