Lot Description

Exquisite Proof 1900 Quarter Eagle 1900 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-67+ Ultra Cameo (NGC). CAC Virtually pristine with eye appeal to spare, this gorgeous Superb Gem will please even the most discerning numismatist. Fully defined with a soft satin texture, the devices appear to float atop deep pools of reflectivity in the fields. The entire package is dressed in vivid medium gold patina that further enhances this coin's already memorable appearance. Superior quality in a survivor of this popular turn of the century issue, one with a generous mintage of 205 Proofs and an extant population of more than 100 coins. While the 1900 may be among the more plentiful Proof Liberty Head quarter eagles, the issue is rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. The present example is also exceptionally well preserved and offers both absolute and condition rarity for the astute gold specialist. NGC Census: 3; 13 finer in this category (Proof-69 * Ultra Cameo finest). PCGS# 7926. NGC ID: 288P. Click here for certification details from NGC.
