1883 Quarter Eagle, Sharply Struck PR62
Considerable Field-Motif Contrast

1883 $2 1/2 PR62 PCGS. Only 82 proof quarter eagles were minted in 1883, making the coin rare in all numerical grades and formats. The PCGS website estimates that 40 to 50 examples are known. PCGS and NGC have graded 55 specimens in all three finishes, and the Heritage Auction Archives record 51 pieces sold at auction since 1993. The orange-gold surfaces of this PR62 offering exhibit considerable field-motif contrast, and are limited in numeric grade by a few minor hairlines in the fields. Sharply struck design elements enhance the coin's eye appeal. Housed in a green-label holder. Population: 4 in 62, 10 finer (4/14).(Registry values: P3)
