Description
1904 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-62 Cameo (PCGS).
Bright yellow-gold tones illuminate the surfaces of this stunning Cameo Proof Liberty quarter eagle. The fields are impressively reflective and only lightly troubled on both sides, allowing the boldly frosted devices to take center stage. A few handling marks in the obverse fields are the only anomalies sparing this jewel from a Choice level of preservation. A total of only 170 pieces were struck, and with the Cameo designation, this coin is clearly a step above those without this desirable feature. At the time this lovely Proof was struck, the all mirror finish was more typical so Cameo coins were quite limited. Furthermore, the Deep Cameo coins are virtually unobtainable for 1904. The specialist who appreciates a lot of eye appeal and contrast would do well to secure this Cameo Proof for their collection.
PCGS# 87930. NGC ID: 288U.
PCGS Population: 4; 37 finer (Cameo Proof-68 finest) within the Cameo Proof designation. Some are likely resubmissions.
Estimate: $2950
