Description

1882 JD-1 Quarter Eagle, PR65
First Generation PCGS Holder

1882 $2 1/2 PR65 PCGS. JD-1, R.6. John Dannreuther estimates that 20 to 24 proofs survive in all grades. This piece, housed for many years in its first-generation PCGS holder, is a wonderful Gem proof example attributed as JD-1, as are all 1882 proof quarter eagles. The flawless yellow-gold surfaces show full and deep mirrors that frame the sharply defined and lightly frosted devices. A touch of deep gold toning outside the border denticles on the reverse is positioned over the final S in STATES, and provides concise identification for the provenance researcher. Population: 5 in 65, 3 finer (11/21).
