Roman Gold 1910 Quarter Eagle, PR64

1910 $2 1/2 PR64 PCGS. CAC. A near-Gem specimen of this "Roman gold" proof issue. Garrett and Guth note that the official mintage of 682 proofs is deceiving and "does not reflect the true rarity of this date. Either two-thirds of these coins were melted by the Mint as unsold, but not removed from the reported mintage, or the reported mintage is simply incorrect." The present example sports a bold central strike and considerable reflectivity that enlivens pale yellow-gold fields. Both sides show a handful of minor but ultimately grade-defining flaws, including small depressions on the portrait's cheek and to the left of the eagle's back wing. Population: 32 in 64, 14 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
