The March 2012 Baltimore Auction

Lot Description: 1907 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-66 Ultra Cameo (NGC). The final entry in the Proof Liberty quarter eagle series, the 1907 was produced to the extent of 154 coins. With about 100 coins believed extant in all grades, the issue is among the more frequently encountered for the type in today's market. Yet also with about 100 coins believed extant, the Proof 1907 quarter eagle is a decidedly scarce issue when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics.     Produced using all brilliant proofing techniques, most examples of this issue are not cameos. The coin we offer here is, however, the devices possessing an uncommonly bold satin texture that contrasts markedly with otherwise mirror finish surfaces. Lovely light orange color throughout, with an exceptionally smooth texture. Condition Census standing, and numbering among the four finest certified examples of the date listed at PCGS and NGC. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers This wonderful Proof is the last in a remarkable offering of especially fine quality Proof quarter eagles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Again, the word opportunity is important. Quality such as this is rare today.
