Lot 1844
1890. Coronet Quarter eagle. NGC graded Proof 68 Ultra Cameo. Here is what is very likely the Finest Known proof quarter eagle of this date! It is alone as the sole PF-68 graded by NGC, and boasts the coveted "ultra cameo" designation, awarded to just a few coins with the deepest frost on the devices, and most stunning contrast. Further, NGC has only graded 2 in PF-67 below. In particular we note that this coin has superb contrast and exceptional orange-peel fields, precisely as the Mint intended. Of the original 93 minted, this one was probably in the first 5 struck, and certainly the best preserved of the entire mintage. A monumental coin that simply cannot be replaced at any price.
Estimated Value $40,000-UP.
