1913 Quarter Eagle, PR64
Interesting, CAC-Endorsed Proof

1913 $2 1/2 PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Hansen. The mintage for the 1913 proof quarter eagle dropped from 197 pieces in 1912 to 165 in 1913. Of that original production run, only 100 to 120 proofs are believed known today. This tan-gold example is interesting because of its level of preservation, and it presents the collector with a unique opportunity to enter the matte proof gold market at an affordable price point. The surfaces are essentially problem-free, except for a single striking flaw. At 2 o'clock on the obverse rim and extending inward into the headdress, there is a strike-through, probably a piece of wire, that fell onto the planchet prior to striking. That's it. Otherwise, this is a lovely matte proof gold coin, thus explaining the CAC endorsement.(Registry values: N4719)
