Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1901. PCGS graded Proof 67 Deep Cameo. History shows the 1901 is among the more easily obtainable issues in the proof Liberty quarter eagle series, not to say that the 1901 is a common coin -- far from that! In fact, Mint records indicate that just 223 proofs were produced, and the number of survivors is now estimated by this cataloger at 125 to 150 pieces. This is a beautiful black-on-white Deep Cameo with deep, watery fields and heavily frosty devices. None of the features reveal even the most trivial hairline or spot, and the color is an even, yellow-gold hue. Spectacular quality for the discerning specialist and one of the finest graded. Pop 4; 3 finer, 1 in 68, 1 in 68+, 1 in 69. (PCGS # 97927) .
Estimated Value $32,000 - 34,000.
