Description du lot

1905 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-62 (PCGS). Bright light yellow gold blankets each side of this delightful Proof. The brilliant luster is bright and uninterrupted, with deep mirrors throughout and appreciable contrast to be noted with the frosty motifs on the reverse. Production of Proof quarter eagles tapered off with the production of only 144 coins in 1905, the lowest number of any Proof the last decade of the Liberty design. The brilliant finish as seen here proved to be popular among the numismatists of the day and was continued up until the end of the series, so popular in fact that many collectors eschewed the Matte Proof finish of the subsequent Indian quarter eagles. Provenance: From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966. PCGS# 7931. NGC ID: 288V. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
