1878 LIBERTY HEAD $2.5 PCGS PR65 Deep Cameo

PCGS PR65DCAM 1878 Liberty Head quarter eagle presents as a Gem Proof Deep Cameo example with mirrored fields, contrasting frosted devices, and bright visual character. Small-format gold issues place unusual emphasis on surface preservation, strike, and originality because the fields reveal handling quickly. Rarity context is especially important: only 20 were struck, and it is reported as tied for highest graded. The Pittman pedigree provides additional provenance interest for collectors who value documented cabinet history. For proof gold and silver collectors, surface preservation and finish are often as important as the numeric grade. Collectors pursuing the series at an advanced level will recognize the importance of grade, attribution, and surface quality here.
