Lovely medium-gold patina dominates this regal Gem, accented by olive and amber. Fully bold and bright, with richly frosted devices on both sides. The fields are glassy and deep, exhibiting the delicate "orange peel" texture that Proof gold specialists find so appealing. Of the 165 Proof quarter eagles struck in 1898, probably not many more than 100 remain today, nearly all of which are in grades far below the present coin. This piece is high on the list of those certified by PCGS. The CAC sticker adds appeal. An important opportunity for an astute collector.
