详细说明: Exceptional Top-Pop Proof 1904 Quarter Eagle Rare Cameo Finish for the Date 1904 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). A phenomenal coin, combining strike and condition rarity with breathtaking eye appeal. The degree of field to device contrast is truly remarkable for a Proof gold coin from this era, the former areas deeply mirrored and the latter features with a soft satiny texture. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and bordering on pristine. Proof quarter eagle production amounted to just 170 coins in 1904. Although this total represents a modest reduction from those posted the preceding four years, the 1904 is not the lowest mintage 20th century Proof of the Liberty Head design type. On the other hand, this issue is the rarest from that era, surpassing even the lower mintage 1905, 1906 and 1907. When we further consider that virtually all known survivors exhibit a fully brilliant finish with minimal, if any cameo contrast, the inclusion of the Cameo designation from PCGS further enhances the importance of this offering. Tied for CC#1 at PCGS, even the most significant gold cabinet will be enhanced by the inclusion of this awe-inspiring Superb Gem. Provenance: From the Castle Pines Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 0 finer in this category, and none graded higher in any category. PCGS# 87930. NGC ID: 288U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
