Bright 1901 Proof Quarter Eagle, Proof 64 PCGS

1901 $2 1/2 PR64 PCGS. The 1901 proof Quarter Eagle is one of the more easily obtainable proofs in the Coronet series. There were 223 pieces struck and, of course, far fewer exist today, perhaps as few as half that number. The 1901 is one of the few late dates that can be occasionally located with field to device contrast, the no-contrast style of proofing becoming standard the following year. The surfaces are very clean, the only superficial flaws we find are a tiny lint mark in front of Liberty's nose, and a few very minor hairlines. Otherwise, there are a few visible die striations, but nothing truly detracting. Deep mirrors in the fields with starkly contrasting frosted devices, the PCGS holder does no note the "Cameo" designation.(#7927) (Registry values: P1)
