Description

1901 Two and a Half, PR67
Ultra Cameo Proof Type Coin

1901 $2 1/2 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. JD-1, Low R.4. The 1901 Liberty quarter eagle is arguably the most plentiful proof in the series, coming from a mintage 223 pieces. Likely 130 to 170 pieces survive, and many are known with well-contrasted surfaces. This is the last proof issue before cameo contrast was diminished in 1902, and its status as a turn-of-the-century date adds to its appeal as a type coin.

The present example is a delightful Superb Gem, showing stark field-device contrast and rich straw-gold color. Close examination fails to reveal contact marks or obvious hairlines, attesting to its overall quality. Census: 8 in 67 Ultra Cameo (1 in 67 ), 8 finer (11/22).
