Description

1908 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR67
High-End First-Year Proof Type Coin

1908 $2 1/2 JD-1, R.4, PR67 NGC. Bela Lyon Pratt's sunken relief design made it impossible for the Mint to produce proofs of the coinage with their traditional polished fields. On previous designs, the fields represented the elevated portion of the die face, making it easy to simply polish the fields and produce the mirrored effect so long seen on proof coinage. However, on Pratt's design, the fields represented the recessed of the die face and could not be polished without marring the design elements. As a result, the Mint introduced the sandblast finish as a distinctive feature of the proof coinage that eliminated the need for die polishing.

This Superb Gem example is just outside the Condition Census for the issue. A sharp strike and luminous, pristine surfaces produce ample eye appeal. While many sandblast proof gold pieces have uniform color, this piece shows orange-gold and wheat-gold hues. Census: 33 in 67 (3 in 67+), 3 finer (11/24).
