A more affordable representative of the sand blast variant of the Proof Indian quarter eagle. This coin is fully struck throughout and quite smooth in overall appearance. Pale sandy-gold color is a bit too light for an issue that typically displays bold green-gold or khaki-gold patina, and the texture also has a curious matte-like appearance to further explain the PCGS qualifier. Closer inspection with a loupe, however, does reveal remnants of the original fine grain sand blast finish. All Proof Indian quarter eagles are rare irrespective of level of preservation, and we are confident that the present specimen will find many willing buyers among advanced gold collectors.,PCGS# 7961.
