- Highly Significant Proof 1904 Quarter Eagle Rare Cameo Finish 1904 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). Splendid golden-yellow surfaces possess an uncommon degree of field to device contrast for a Proof Liberty Head quarter eagle from the early 20th century. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, with expertly preserved surfaces that will please even the most discerning numismatist. 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 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 NGC further enhances the importance of this offering. An impressive strike and absolute rarity that would serve with distinction in the finest gold cabinet. NGC Census: 16; 9 finer in this category (Proof-68 Cameo finest). PCGS# 87930. NGC ID: 288U.
