Lot 670
Quarter Eagle. 1896. A rare Proof issue with only 132 struck, most of which are more impaired than this coin. The fields show significant hairlines from improper cleaning or light circulation, but the coin is obviously a Proof, with needle-sharp devices and hints of the original wire rim still remaining, although most of it has been removed by contact. Nicely frosted and with most of the contrast still visible.
