Description
1904 Quarter Eagle, PR63+
Scarcest of the Late-Date Proofs
1904 $2 1/2 PR63+ NGC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Although 170
proofs were produced, Garrett and Guth suggest in their reference
that several pieces entered circulation or were otherwise impaired,
making this issue the scarcest of the late-date series proofs. The
present coin passed from the "Colonel" Green Collection into the
Eric P. Newman Collection, where it was preserved until today. The
mirrored fields show a few cloudy areas and scattered light marks
-- still, it is well-produced for a Select proof and high-end for
the assigned grade, with compelling eye appeal.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $12.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: P1)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
