1908 $2 1/2

Description

1908 PR 62 NGC. Proofs of this year are always a popular item with collectors. Not only is it the first year of issue for the incuse Indian design, and a low mintage date with only 236 proofs struck (many of which were melted), but all proofs also have a distinctive and quite lovely deep-khaki color. This piece not only shows this khaki color but there is also a significant overlay of rose patina on the highpoints and in the fields. The surfaces are attractive, although not quite perfect. A few tiny contact marks show on the left side of the obverse, a larger mark is seen in the reverse field below AMERICA. A rare opportunity to purchase an attractive matte proof Indian quarter eagle at an affordable level.
