Lot Description

1904 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). Deep yellow-gold with a soft orange afterglow. The devices are lightly frosted and the fields are boldly mirrored. A few tiny ticks are present to the unaided eye, these relegated chiefly to the obverse. One of 170 Proofs of the issue struck, though somewhat fewer than that tally can be accounted for today. A date for which the Proof production figure allows for relatively easy access to a Proof Liberty quarter eagle without harking back to the lower-mintage dates of the 19th century. Well worth in-person inspection.
