Heavily Contrasted Proof 1876 Quarter Eagle

1876 PR 63 Cameo NGC. One of a mere 45 proofs issued in the United States' centennial year. Breen and Taglione both suggested that perhaps as many as 24 pieces survive today in all grades. This is a glittering, heavily cameoed example that has much more eye appeal than is suggested by its grade. A few wispy hairlines and contact marks above the eagle's head account for the grade of this lovely coin. Also, a copper alloy spot is noted on the reverse just below the first T in STATES.
