Description

Exceptional PR67 1914 Quarter Eagle

1914 $2 1/2 PR67 NGC. The 1914 is quite a different issue from the previous year. The mintage is significantly lower with only 117 proofs produced, and the level of preservation is not nearly as high. Our in-house records indicate that the average 1914 proof grades 63.6 and Garrett-Guth found an average of 64.2. The 1914 is noticeably darker than the 1913 and the individual facets are slightly larger on the matte finish in 1914. This is a splendid coin and undoubtedly one of the finest known of the estimated 60-70 pieces estimated extant today. The surfaces are not perfect, but their only imperfection lies in a Mint-made flaw. On the right side of the reverse through TRUST one can detect a slight crack in the planchet or lamination, which is really quite interesting and unusual to find on a gold coin. Otherwise a flawless coin. Census: 12 in 67, 4 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N7079)
