Lot 2310
1905 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 65 CAC Verified. Old green holder. Lovely rich golden toning. Only 144 proofs struck. This spectacular Gem Proof has a razor-sharp strike and faint cameo likeness in Liberty and the eagle. The deeply mirrored fields are themselves richly toned. While Proof Liberty quarter eagle issues after the turn of 1900 have relatively large mintage figures compared to those in earlier years, the truth is that few were saved in anything like this coin's Gem condition. The present example is represented thusly in the population report put out by PCGS: Pop 21; 9 in 66; 2 in 67. (PCGS # 7931) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
