Impressive Gem Proof 1903 Quarter Eagle 1903 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. This vivid medium gold beauty combines a brilliant obverse with a reverse that exhibits modest cameo contrast between the fields and devices. Both sides are uniformly well preserved with a smooth Gem quality appearance to delicate surfaces. Like the Proof 1902 before it, the Proof 1903 quarter eagle was produced from universally polished dies that resulted in most survivors lacking sufficient field to device contrast to secure a Cameo or Deep Cameo rating from the major certification services. This is just such a coin, although at the Proof-65 level it is conditionally rare for an issue that has a below average rate of preservation among Proof Liberty Head quarter eagles from the 20th century. A superior example from a mintage of 197 Proofs that is sure to please the discerning gold specialist. PCGS# 7929. NGC ID: 288T. PCGS Population: 21; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67 finest). Provenance: From Alexander Collection. Earlier from B. Max Mehl's sale of the Dr. Russell H. Renz Collection, March 1948, lot 3548. Lot tag and Stack's company envelope with provenance notes included.
