1910 $2.50 PR (PCGS#7959)

The Regency Auction 26

详细说明: The mintage of 1910 Proof quarter eagles was reported at 682, a whopping sum for any Proof gold coin. Obviously the number of coins that went 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 PCGS CoinFacts estimates that about 136 exist. Struck in the Satin, or Roman Finish, the 1910 have a brighter gold color and a more reflective finish than the matte proofs of 1908. The present SUPERB GEM has flawless, brilliant gold color with full definition from a razor sharp strike. The fields have some of the mattelike texture, but without the full, sandblast finish of a matte proof. The eye appeal is exceptional and this coin ranks among the FINEST graded. PCGS 12, NGC 31, CAC 12. This is the ONLY PR66+ graded by either service. The finest at PCGS are a pair of PR67, and at NGC a pair at PR68. This coin has never sold in auction, but the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $52,500. This is a real prize for the Proof gold collector. Proof gold has always held a special place among advanced collectors, and we expect strong bidding for this CAC-endorsed GEM! Cert. Number 4484102-001 PCGS # 7959
