Gleaming Gem Proof 1902 Quarter Eagle
Transition Year

1902 $2 1/2 PR65 PCGS. The consciously created low-contrast, all-flash proof style that is often called the "brilliant proof" made its U.S. debut in 1902 and persisted until a design change or 1916, whichever came first. (It is worth noting that the "true" matte proofs among Indian quarter eagles were struck in six years, the same number of years that brilliant proof Liberty quarter eagles received.) This boldly impressed Gem has stunning yellow-gold mirrors and subtly contrasting devices that give the effect through changes in contour rather than any attempt at frostiness. Carefully preserved and undeniably appealing. Population: 9 in 65, 5 finer (9/11).(Registry values: P1)
