详细说明: Old Green Holder 1898 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 (PCGS). OGH. An exceptional and lightly toned example displaying honey-gold tones with scattered powder blue accents. The contrast is substantial across each side, with richly frosted devices set against reflective fields. Traces of faint patina remain in the peripheries, confirming the strong originality of the surfaces. A beautiful jewel free of any distractions and housed in an Old Green PCGS holder. The 1898 has a respectable original mintage of 165 pieces that ranks among the highest in the Proof Liberty quarter eagle series. With approximately 100 coins believed extant, this is one of the more frequently offered Proof gold coins of its type in today's market. On the other hand, no classic numismatic coin with little more than 100 pieces known can rightly be called common in an absolute sense. Indeed, the 1898 is as rare and desirable as is warranted for an issue that is part of the United States Mint's classic Proof gold series. A true connoisseur's coin that is worthy of the strongest bid. Provenance: From the Dr. Andrew Mitchell Collection. PCGS Population: 5; 21 finer. PCGS# 7924. NGC ID: 288M.
