1899 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-62 (PCGS). Proof qualities are on full display on both sides of this silver-tinged, generally olive-orange specimen. Fully struck and satiny, the design elements contrast appreciably with reflective fields, although a Cameo designation is not included as part of the PCGS-certified grade. This is a desirable survivor from a Proof mintage of 150 pieces, one of 90 to 110 believed extant (per John W. Dannreuther, United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, Part One , 2018). PCGS# 7925. NGC ID: 288N.
