Breathtaking Gem Proof 1902 Quarter Eagle 1902 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. A brilliant and beautiful Gem awash in vivid medium gold color. The razor sharp design elements are fully struck, the fields deeply mirrored, and all areas are expectably smooth and well preserved for the coveted Proof-65 grade returned by PCGS. From a Proof mintage of 193 pieces. The median grade of certified examples is in the Proof-63 to 64 range. The population statistics for Proof 1902 quarter eagles, as reported by the two major certification services, are significantly larger than the Guide Bookmintage, indicating that some specimens have been certified on two or more different occasions since the mid-1980s. Writing in the 2008 reference United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, John Q. Dannreuther asserts that 120 to 140 different specimens are extant. Early 20th-century Proof gold coins have long been popular with advanced type collectors and specialists, and will likely always command strong premiums. This conditionally rare survivor of the Proof 1902 quarter eagle issue is sure to sell for a premium bid. Provenance: From the Castle Pines Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 8 finer in this category (Proof-67 finest). PCGS# 7928. NGC ID: 288S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
