详细说明: Finest Certified Proof 1876 Quarter Eagle 1876 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-67 Ultra Cameo (NGC). This breathtakingly beautiful 1876 Proof quarter eagle combines satiny devices with deeply mirrored fields, easily living up to its Ultra Cameo designation by NGC. The surfaces are silky smooth and virtually pristine. A full strike and bright golden yellow patina round out enhance the appeal of this remarkable condition rarity. Like its identically dated Proof gold dollar counterpart (an example of which is also being offered in this sale), the Proof 1876 quarter eagle has the highest mintage in its series from 1868 through 1880. Even so, survivors from the mintage of 45 pieces are highly elusive and, discounting for the high probability of resubmissions among the third party certification totals, we believe that fewer than 25 coins are extant, perhaps no more than 20. This Superb Gem is the single finest certified example known to PCGS and NGC, the only Proof-67 in any category and is exceptionally attractive due to the Ultra Cameo finish. It is destined to serve as a highlight in an advanced collection of classic Proof gold coinage. PCGS# 97902. NGC ID: 287X. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: 1; 0 finer in any category.
