Description
1910 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR66
Eye Appealing Satin Finish Proof
1910 $2 1/2 JD-1, High R.4, PR66 NGC. Because the matte, or
sandblast, finish proved unpopular in 1908, the Mint switched to
the Satin finish, with brighter, sparkly surfaces, for proofs in
1909. Unfortunately, collectors still preferred the brilliant
proofs of earlier years and the Satin finish was abandoned after
1910. Paradoxically, the 1910 claims the largest mintage of the
proof Indian quarter eagle series, at 682 pieces, but the issue is
not any more available than most other proofs of this period. Roger
W. Burdette notes that no circulation strike quarter eagles were
issued until after October 10 that year. John Dannreuther suggests
this may have caused some speculation that the 1910 would be a
scarce proof-only issue, prompting collectors and dealers to order
extra specimens late in the year. When 492,00 business-strike coins
were finally struck, the speculation collapsed, and many of the
extra proofs were simply spent for face value, as there was no
worthwhile premium attached to them at the time. Dannreuther
estimates the surviving population at 90 to 110 examples in all
grades.This spectacular Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout. The mustard-orange surfaces radiate strong satiny luster from both sides. Overall eye appeal is terrific. This coin will be a welcome addition to a fine collection or Registry Set. NGC Census: 31 in 66 (4 in 66+, 1 in 66★ ), 16 finer (3/26).
