Stunning Cameo Gem Proof 1867 Quarter 1867 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-66+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This is an undeniably original Gem with strong technical quality to match lovely eye appeal. Uncommonly well preserved for both the issue and the type, the surfaces are smooth in hand and border on pristine. Fully struck, as well, with bold field-to-device contrast shining forth nicely despite the presence of appreciable toning. Cobalt-blue colors hug the peripheries and give way to lighter reddish-rose, golden-apricot and pale silver iridescence in and around the centers. A beautiful specimen worthy of the strongest bids. The Philadelphia Mint struck 625 Proof quarters in 1867, which were distributed to contemporary collectors as part of the year's Proof Sets. This is one of the finest and most aesthetically appealing survivors obtainable in today's market - a rare find for the discerning collector that would serve with distinction in an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the Benson Collection, February 2002, lot 722; our (Bowers and Merena's) Rampa Bay Rarities Sale, January 2011, lot 514. The owner of the Benson Collection acquired the coin from Ira S. Reed on August 17, 1944 as part of a set of proof Quarters dated 1858-1915. PCGS Population: 2; with a single Proof-67 Cameo finer in this category. CAC Population: 4; 1. These totals include coins certified by both PCGS and NGC and, for the former figure, coins graded Proof-66 Cameo and Proof-66+ Cameo. PCGS# 85566. NGC ID: 23WY.
