Favored PR66 1908 Quarter Eagle
First Matte Proof Year

1908 $2 1/2 PR66 NGC. The first-year matte proofs of the 1908 quarter eagle are the most widely available specimens in the Pratt series, though the matte proof texture was seen as an unattractive novelty by many of the Mint's steady gold proof buyers. This is a luminous and beautiful Premium Gem specimen, richly textured with dusky orange-gold flair. The sunken devices are boldly detailed, particularly on the devices, and the matte surfaces highlight the striking characteristics. A carefully preserved and delightful representative of this important chapter in proof gold history. Census: 42 in 66, 26 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)
