Description

1911 Quarter Eagle, PR64
Orange-Gold Matte Surfaces

1911 $2 1/2 PR64 NGC. JD-1, R.4. With the introduction of Bela Lyon Pratt's sunken-relief design in 1908 came a new sandblast finish for proofs. It proved unpopular and was replaced in 1909 and 1910 with a satin finish that proved equally unpopular. A vote was taken among the attendees of the 1910 ANA convention to have the Mint revert to the sandblast finish. The facility subsequently struck 191 of these 1911 proof quarter eagles, of which about 100 to 120 pieces are known, according to John Dannreuther. The present near-Gem features orange-gold matte surfaces. There are a couple of microscopic contact marks near the Indian's nose and one in the left reverse field, but both sides are otherwise clean. Census: 17 in 64 (1 in 64+), 82 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N4719)
