1903 Quarter Eagle, PR65
One-Sided Cameo

1903 $2 1/2 PR65 NGC. The Mint altered the proof die preparation process during this period, very nearly eliminating field-device contrast on its proof coins. Those that have been certified as Cameos are barely so, with the contrast disappearing at various angles of view. For a non-Cameo, this Gem 1903 proof quarter eagle is a remarkably attractive coin, showing bold design definition and beautifully preserved, honey-gold mirrors. The reverse is, incredibly, distinctly contrasted between the eagle and the fields, though the obverse, fully brilliant, does not warrant the Cameo designation from NGC. This proof issue was struck to the extent of 197 coins, slightly more than half of which are known to survive. Still, any proof Liberty Head quarter eagle is a rare find and worth considerable bidder attention. Census: 14 in 65 (1 in 65 ★ ), 17 finer (12/14).(Registry values: P1)
