- Beautiful Choice Proof 1897 $2.50 1897 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-64 (PCGS). OGH. The deep orange-gold surfaces of this pleasing Proof quarter eagle enjoy boldly frosted motifs, mirrored fields, and a hint of olive iridescence. The Guide Book gives a Proof mintage for the date of 136 pieces, though somewhat less than that amount is available to today's collectors. Of the survivors, just a half dozen examples have been certified as Proof-64 by PCGS, with fewer than 15 examples certified at a finer level by that firm. This lovely Proof of Christian Gobrecht's long-standing design type -- 1840 to 1907 -- will do justice to any Proof gold collection or quarter eagle cabinet being formed, as well as an advanced type set. PCGS# 7923. Provenance: From the RLS Collection.
