Superb Gem 1899 Cameo Proof Quarter Eagle

1899 PR 67 PCGS. One of the three finest specimens certified by PCGS (4/99) and an absolutely stunning superb gem proof. The 1899 is one of the more available proofs in the Coronet quarter eagle series with an original mintage of 150 pieces. This is still, however, a difficult coin to locate in any grade and a deserved rarity at the superb gem tier. The pristine, watery fields reveal a depth that could easily captivate even the most wandering eyes. In stark contrast, the crisply defined devices carry a thick layer of mint frost that completes the black and white cameo contrast of this proof specimen. The surfaces are essentially free of post-minting defects. A gorgeous proof that belongs in a gold collection similar in stature to Ed Trompeter's.
