- A majestic example of this very popular Proof Indian $2.50. The quality is off the charts, and the eye appeal is simply stunning. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE NGC PR66+ CAC that we sold in May 2018. Ranking among the TOP THREE graded at PCGS, this coin has all the hallmarks of a SUPERB GEM! The delicate satin finish is totally intact, uninterrupted by any surface disturbance or flaw that we can see with our powerful loupes. Every detail is fully embossed in the surfaces, and crisply defined throughout the incuse design. The rich, totally original orange-gold color is as fresh and pleasing as the day it came off the dies. The mintage of 1910 Proof quarter eagles was reported at 682, a whopping sum for any Proof gold coin. It is said that many of these may have been spent by their owners as no 1910 circulation strike quarter eagles were produced until the end of the year. Obviously the number of coins that went into circulation, or melted as unsold were never taken out, or there could have been a mistake in reporting. The current combined PCGS and NGC populations come to about 200 pieces, and the recent Proof Gold reference by John Dannreuther suggests that 90-110 survive. PCGS 12, NGC 31, CAC 14. This is the SOLE PR66+ graded at PCGS, and there are two at NGC. The ONLY PR66+ to sell was the coin mentioned above, graded by NGC in our May 2018 Regency Auction, that realized $43,475. A PCGS/CAC PR66 (no +) sold for $45,825 in March 2016. The most recent non-CAC PCGS PR67 sold for $64,625 in the 2015 FUN auction. The current PCGS value is listed at $52,500, but this coin will surpass that amount when it crosses the block; it is SUPERB, and will certainly attract huge attention from specialists. Good luck finding a better one in a PCGS/CAC holder! Cert. Number 35684363 PCGS # 7959
