The Philadelphia Mint produced 154 proof Liberty quarter eagles in 1907, the final year of the Liberty design. The coins were delivered in quarterly batches of 60, 29, 23, and 42 pieces. A single pair of dies was used to strike the proofs, with a paper clip shaped artifact on the bust tip and four nearly horizontal die lines in the second clear space in the shield, making it easy to differentiate between proofs and prooflike business strikes. John Dannreuther estimates the surviving population at 100-120 examples in all grades. The NGC population is 9 with 9 graded higher.

Dazzling 1881 Trade Dollar NGC PR67 Cameo

Sirhc

The Trade dollar was not produced in business-strike format after 1878, but the Philadelphia Mint coined a limited number of proof coins every year to satisfy collector demand. This led to a short-lived speculation in Trade dollars that crested early in 1880, leading to a series-record proof mintage of 1,987 pieces that year. By 1881, the demand had dropped off considerably, and only 960 proof Trade dollars were struck. In addition to the smaller mintage, the 1881 issue was plagued by poor workmanship, and most examples seen show areas of flatness on Liberty’s head and the upper stars, due to improper spacing of the dies. One of the reverse dies was lapped, resulting in a loss of detail in the eagle’s feathers. Few examples show the desirable Cameo effect. This particular survivor is color-free, with clear, deeply reflective mirrors and loads of eye-appeal.

The NGC population is 11 with 3 graded higher.

The Sole Highest Graded – 1881 Liberty Quarter Eagle NGC PR67 Ultra Cameo

Sirhc

Prior to 1881, gold proofs are almost entirely sold only in complete denomination sets. Gold proof sets sales continued in 1881, with 40 distributed by the end of the first quarter, but individual proof quarter eagles were struck and sold throughout the year as well, bringing the mintage for this issue to 51 pieces. These coins are among the most contrasted proofs in the Liberty quarter eagle series, and the palindrome date makes them popular type coins. Type collector demand is further heightened by the fact that many later proof quarter eagles (such as those struck from 1902 through 1907), lack the same degree of cameo contrast seen on late 19th century proofs. In United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold,  John Dannreuther estimates that only 18 to 22 proof 1881 quarter eagles survive. This is far less coins than the PCGS estimate of 30 to 35 pieces, but it might be more accurate. A significant number of the non-Cameo proofs reported by the grading services have likely been reconsidered in more recent years and redesignated Cameo or Deep Cameo. This is the only PR67 Ultra Cameo graded by NGC with none higher.

1867 No Rays Shield Nickel NGC PR67 Ultra Cameo

Sirhc

The One and Only

The first of the No Rays proof issues in the Shield nickel series, a design change that would last until the series’ end in 1883. Out of an estimated 600+ proofs produced for the 1867 No Rays, this is the single finest of just three specimens rated as having Ultra Cameo contrast by NGC. The contrast and eye appeal are much more pronounced in-hand, especially with respect to the reverse.

1880 Trade Dollar NGC PR67

Sirhc

Sensationally Superb

No Trade dollars were produced for circulation after 1878, but the Philadelphia Mint continued to strike proofs for collectors until 1884. When collectors and dealers became aware of the proof-only status of the denomination a popular speculation in the proofs sprang up. The increased demand resulted in a record mintage of 1,987 proof Trade dollars in 1880. Although the speculation peaked in March, and subsided after that, the Mint continued to strike proofs throughout the year. Looking and this coin in hand and comparing it to our images, we must say – a picture isn’t always worth 1000 words. In actuality, this example boasts light to medium pink and golden centers encircled by luscious violet and blue-green borders. Said differently, ignore the pictures! No non-CAM/UCAM’s have been graded higher by NGC.
