1914 Indian Head Quarter Eagle PR66
Challenging Matte Proof Date

1914 $5 PR66 NGC. The Mint revised its proof production methods for the final time in 1914, retaining the sandblast finish, but with coarser surface granules. The public failed to appreciate the new format, and few of the 125 proof half eagles minted in 1914 were actually sold. The issue is the second most difficult date of the series to locate in today's market. We estimate that only 35-50 examples are extant in all grades. Including both leading grading services, only 12 coins have been certified in PR66, with 11 finer (11/09).
The present coin exhibits finely grained surfaces, with atypical pronounced yellow color. The surfaces appear technically perfect, with no discernable marks or shiny spots. Overall visual appeal is all one could ask for.(Registry values: N7079)
