1899 Liberty Quarter Eagle, PR67
Spectacular Deep Cameo Specimen

1899 $2 1/2 PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS Secure. Only 150 proof Liberty quarter eagles were struck in 1899, a relatively generous production total by 19th century standards, but considerably smaller than the 20th century proof mintages that followed. Perhaps because of its turn-of-the-century date, the 1899 quarter eagle was heavily saved by contemporary collectors, and perhaps 100 examples survive today, some in extraordinary states of preservation, like the coin offered here. That being said, the population data for this issue is grossly inflated by crossovers and resubmissions, making the issue seem more available than it is.

This magnificent Superb Gem exhibits needle-sharp design elements, with a rich coat of mint frost that creates a stunning cameo effect against the deeply mirrored fields. The flawless lemon-yellow surfaces show the slight orange-peel texture that characterizes high-quality gold proofs of this era, with extraordinary visual appeal. This coin will be a welcome addition to a fine collection of proof gold. Population: 8 in 67 (2 in 67+) Deep Cameo, 3 finer (11/16).
