$2.50 Gold Liberty. 1907. PCGS graded Proof 68 Cameo. There are super rare United States proof gold coins out there that leave a permanent memory of beauty on those who have viewed them. They are few and far between and sometimes an individual might get to only see one……here is your chance! This 1907 superb gem quarter eagle is a perfect example of the near flawless quality our nation's Mint had the capability of making in the early 20th century. Far and away the Finest Known specimen to exist of this last year of the Coronet Liberty quarter eagle series when 154 proofs were minted. Amazingly, PCGS has graded only 3 proof Liberty quarter eagles this quality for the entire $2.50 Liberty gold series!
Striking cameo surfaces as a result of the United States Mint bringing back mildly frosted devices in this time period (1902-1905 were all brilliant). Cartwheel golden luster radiates from bold and shimmering devices. Fully reflective and mark free fields, with no film of any sort, make it hard to put this coin down. Date low and slants up to right. Identified by the tiniest lint mark (requires magnification, approximately. 0.3mm) hugging the middle of the neck.
Whether for the finest high grade type set or as a move to join the ranks of Trompeter, Garrett, Norweb and Bass, this 1907 $2.50 in PCGSPR68CAM represents a fantastic opportunity for the numismatic community (PCGS # 87933) .
Estimated Value $40,000 - 45,000.
