1915 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR67
Elusive Final Proof Issue

1915 $2 1/2 PR67 NGC. JD-1, Low R.5. The Philadelphia Mint struck a series-low mintage of 100 proof Indian quarter eagles in 1915, the last year of commercial proof gold offerings. The coins were all delivered on November 5 and a single die pair was used to strike all the proofs. It is possible that some of the proofs went unsold and were never distributed. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 70-80 examples in all grades. In their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note:

"Long considered to be the key date to the Proof series, the 1915 issue has earned its reputation as a rarity with few offerings and constant demand. ... [T]he 1915 quarter eagle Proof has always commanded attention, with a tiny mintage of just 100 pieces. Also, being the final year of issue, precious few of these coins remain in gem grades to satisfy collector demand."

This spectacular Superb Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout. The virtually flawless orange-gold surfaces radiate unbroken matte luster, with terrific eye appeal. This coin should find a home in the finest collection or Registry Set. Census: 6 in 67, 2 finer (4/22).
