Country of Origin:USA Certification No.: Condition:Mint Year:1903 Description:1903 5C PR67 Cameo PCGS. This year marks the first year proof coinage was available after 1901 with any degree of cameo contrast. And the few coins that are available as cameos are not a result of a conscious decision on the part of Mint employees but purely a coincidence of having been struck from a new pair of dies. This is a modestly contrasted eample that probably would show a stronger cameo effect but each side is lightly draped in golden and lilac toning.   « Less

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Mint Year:1863 Description:1863 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. One of the finest graded of this date and with as much Cameo contrast as found on any 1863 Seated quarter. Neither PCGS or NGC has graded any eamples of this date with the Deep Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation. The color is stark white and only a shadowy hint of gold toning is found in the fields. Well contrasted between the reflective fields and devices, with ample frost piled high on the devices. It is of importance to note that the mintage for this issue was a scant 460 coins, apparently demand fell off with the horrors of the Civil War unfolding so close to Philadelphia, so collectors were ordering fewer proofs. An impressive and outstanding coin for the specialist, and one which is a solid contender for the finest known. Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (9/05).Certificate No.: NGC 1961951-001   « Less

Country of Origin:USA Condition:Mint Year:1873 Description:1873 25C Arrows PR66 Cameo NGC. The Mint Act of February 12, 1873, converted subsidiary coinage to the metric system, and in so doing slightly increased the weight of silver planchets. Passage of this legislation, sometimes known as the "Crime of '73," discontinued the two cent piece, three cent silver, half dime, and silver dollar, at the same time creating the Trade dollar and moving the Mint offices from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C.The arrows were a distinguishing mark to easily identify the new coins from the old-tenor silver pieces. The weight change was so slight that old blanks remained within Mint tolerance, and probably remained in use. A further result of the 1873 Act was an order sent to San Francisco and Carson City to melt all older coins that remained on hand, creating rarities for collectors today. In two instances, the order completely eliminated a particular issue. No 1873-S Seated half dollars or dollars are known today, despite mintages of 5,000 and 700 coins, respectively.Only 540 of these 1873 Arrows quarters were struck in the proof format, and the current specimen is the single finest certified by the two major services. The fields are deeply reflective, and the obverse possesses a warm russet and cobalt-blue edging around that side, with an elliptical area of brilliance over most of the portrait and a portion of the date. The reverse, on the other hand, displays an even steel-blue patina that yields to copper-gold about the periphery. Although undesignated as such, this piece is a remarkable cameo eample, with eceptional contrast between the mirrored fields and lustrous devices.
