Description

Bright, Moderately Contrasted PR62 1902 Quarter Eagle

1902 $2 1/2 PR62 PCGS. This lovely proof coin, housed in a first-generation, small-sized PCGS holder, today would almost certainly garner a Cameo designation. This is an unusual attribute as most 1902-1907 proof gold does not show any degree of contrast. The green-gold surfaces are much more appealing than the grade would indicate, with brilliantly mirrored fields that show noticeable black-on-gold contrast. Perusal with a loupe reveals a few light, undistracting hairlines, along with a small planchet lamination, as made, under the ST in STATES. Only 193 proofs were struck with probably only 100 or so extant today. Population: 18 in 62, 75 finer (4/08).(Registry values: P1)
