Description
1901 Quarter Eagle, PR69 Deep Cameo
Tied for Series-Finest Liberty Head Proof
Breathtaking Color and Quality
1901 $2 1/2 JD-1, Low R.4, PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Among all
the proof Liberty quarter eagles struck since the introduction of
the Liberty Head type in 1840, only three examples have achieved
the near-ultimate PR69 Deep Cameo grade from PCGS and one PR69
Ultra Cameo exists on the NGC Census. These few coins represent the
ultimate examples of the Liberty Head type. Three of the top proof
coins are 1901 quarter eagles, and the other PR69 Deep Cameo is an
1899 quarter eagle certified by PCGS. More 1901 proof quarter
eagles were minted than those of any other date in the Liberty
series. The production totaled 223 coins during a transitional year
for the Mint. John Dannreuther suggests 130 to 170 proofs survive
from that generous mintage. The second Mint building was vacated
and the third Mint structure occupied in October 1901. National
Archives records researched by Roger Burdette indicate that 88% of
1901 proof quarter eagles were coined in the first three quarters
of the year at the second Mint, and 12% were coined in the final
quarter at the third Mint facility. 1901 is the final proof year
that consistently provides high quality proofs with significant
contrast between the raised motifs and the surrounding fields. This
amazing Superb Gem Deep Cameo exhibits every detail struck to its
sharpest, with deeply mirrored and highly brilliant orange-gold
surfaces, showing marked contrast between the vibrantly mirrored
fields and richly frosted devices. A delight for the connoisseur,
this piece is essentially perfect and presents majestic beauty. In
addition, this amazing 1901 proof serves as the Dannreuther proof
gold reference plate coin. PCGS Population: 2 in 69 Deep Cameo, 0
finer (7/25).From The Colorado Collection.
