1908 Quarter Eagle, PR66
Sought-After First-Year Matte Proof
1908 $2 1/2 PR66 PCGS. CAC. The sandblast (or "matte") proof
quarter eagles of 1908 were not well-received by collectors of the
period, as the old brilliant finish was much preferred and missed.
As a result, many of 236 pieces struck were likely spent or
otherwise lost, with only about half of the original production
figure believed to survive today. Still, the 1908 is one of the
most easily obtainable proof quarter eagles in the Indian Head
series (relatively speaking), and is a popular choice among
collectors seeking a single proof representative of this type. The
coin here offered is a rare Premium Gem example, with rich
olive-gold color and seemingly flawless surfaces (save for a tiny,
grade-defining tick in the lower-right reverse field adjacent to
the rim. The strike is bold throughout, as the weakness on the
eagle's wing is due to incomplete engraving of the die, and not
striking pressure. Population: 15 in 66, 2 finer (7/14).(Registry
values: N7079) (NGC ID# 289G, PCGS# 7957)Weight: 4.18 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
