- Remarkable 1900 Gold Proof Set Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle, Eagle and Double Eagle Offered Individually 1900 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 Cameo (PCGS). This is an enchanting specimen with vivid orange-gold patina to fully impressed, boldly cameoed surfaces. Undeniably Choice in quality with eye appeal to spare. A generous mintage (for the type) of 205 pieces conceals the rarity of the Proof 1900 Liberty Head quarter eagle in numismatic circles. Although this is one of the more frequently encountered issues of its type, not many more than 100 examples are extant, suggesting that nearly half of the mintage was destroyed in the Mint when they coins failed to sell to contemporary collectors. This is one of the nicest examples for the grade that we have offered in recent memory, and it is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced gold type and date collectors. PCGS# 87926. NGC ID: 288P. PCGS Population: 10; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo finest). Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
