Lot 1830
1905 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 66. A tiny toned area at the point of the coronet. Virtually unrivaled in terms of exterior preservation, both sides of this golden beauty are well frosted on the devices and for all intents and purposes display free-flowing mirrors with beautiful "depth"; the fields show classic "orange peel" effect at certain angles. Both the peripheries and the central reverse are naturally detailed and full 100% crisp for their sharpness of strike. Proofs are the premier quality coins issued by a country's Mint, and the Liberty quarter eagles from the turn of the 20th century are some of the most beautifully made. All this is a forceful reminder in numismatics that it is quality that counts. 144 proofs minted. Pop 9; 2 finer in 67. (PCGS # 7931) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000.
