详细说明: 1903 Liberty Quarter Eagle. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. Fully impressed devices and shimmering reflectivity to the finish confirm this coin as one of the 197 proof Liberty Quarter Eagles struck in the Philadelphia Mint during 1903. The coin has an all-brilliant finish, as typically seen for the issue, but it is far more carefully preserved than the typically encountered survivor. We see no worrisome blemishes, in fact, and a dusting of pale-gold tinting further confirms the coin's originality. Probably a Proof-66 by today's grading standards, this coin is sure to sell for a premium bid.<br />     The 1903 is one of the more frequently encountered proofs in the Liberty Quarter Eagle series. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2008) account for only 100 coins extant, however, a total that confirms this as a rare issue when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics.
