Description
1913 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR67
Mintage Limited to 165 Pieces
1913 $2 1/2 JD-1, R.4, PR67 NGC. Ex: Simpson. Proof gold
mintages continued to decline into 1913 with only 165 quarter
eagles struck that year. Only a single die pair was used
(unsurprisingly), and there are an estimated 100 to 120 pieces
believed extant today in all grades. The phrase to pay attention to
in the preceding sentence is "in all grades." In Superb Gem proof
condition there are just a handful of coins known. In his
two-volume set on proof gold, John Dannreuther explains:"Sandblasting the surfaces is an easy process, but leaves them subject to scratches, hairlines, and other impairments. It is very easy to hairline a brilliant Proof, as everyone knows, but Matte Proof gold surfaces are just as delicate."
This is a wonderfully preserved example with tan-gold color that one expects from matte proofs from 1913. The surfaces show no obvious hairlines or shiny spots. Fully struck in all areas. Census: 8 in 67, 4 finer (7/25).
