Liberty Quarter Eagles
1884 $2 1/2 MS62 Prooflike NGC. It has been eight years since we last offered a Prooflike 1884 quarter eagle, a format that is seldom offered at auction and exists to the extent of just four pieces with designated Prooflike surfaces. The tiny mintage of just 1,950 circulation strikes suggests more prooflike coins might survive, yet the population has not changed for many years. This rich-gold example is distinctly reflective and sharply struck on the frosted motifs with a few light lines visible on the mirrored fields. Census: 1 in 62 Prooflike, 3 finer (1/17).
