Description

1899 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-63+ Ultra Cameo (NGC). CAC.
Beautiful Ultra Cameo Proof qualities are on full display on both sides of this vivid golden-rose specimen. Fully struck and satiny, the design elements contrast markedly with deeply reflective fields. This is a highly desirable survivor from a Proof mintage of 150 pieces, one of 90 to 110 believed extant (per John W. Dannreuther, United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, Part One, 2018). It is a highlight of the extensive classic gold offerings in this sale, and would be ideal for a high quality Proof gold type set.
PCGS# 97925. NGC ID: 288N.
From the Kohler Wisconsin Collection.

Estimate: $5750
