Description

1909 Quarter Eagle, PR64
Attractive CAC Example

1909 $2 1/2 JD-1, High R.4, PR64 PCGS. CAC. The 1909 proof boasts a mintage of only 139 coins, delivered on four occasions from March to December 1909, but reportedly only 78 of these coins were sold. John Dannreuther, in United States Proof Coins, Vol. IV: Gold, estimates a survivorship of only 50 to 60 pieces in all grades. Collector push-back on the sandblast finish of 1908 caused the Mint to try an alternative Satin Finish proof in 1909. The luster is somewhat muted in favor of the mattelike appearance. On this coin, rich peach-gold color adorns each side, and the strike is full. CAC endorsement adds to the appeal of this eye-appealing example. PCGS Population: 25 in 64 (1 in 64+), 5 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 5 finer (10/25).
