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.

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.

Popular First-Year-Of-Issue 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Bela Lyon Pratt’s quarter eagle and half eagle avoided the motto controversy that swept the recently introduced Saint-Gaudens gold types. But Pratt’s novel recessed relief design had its naysayers, who thought that germs would accumulate within the devices. However, the principal numismatic difference between the Indian quarter eagle and its Liberty predecessor is that high grades for the former are more difficult to obtain. This is because the fields are the highpoints of the design, and are unprotected from abrasions.

The 1908 Indian quarter eagle was well saved at the time of issue and as a result, examples are plentiful in Gem condition today, and Premium Gems are only marginally scarce. However, of the 127 coins graded MS66 at PCGS, only ten of those pieces carry a Plus designation, and just four are certified finer. 

Listed at $12,000 in the CDN CPG and $12,500 in the NGC price guide.

Highly Attractive 1807 Draped Bust Quarter Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

1807 is the final year for the Capped Bust Right type, which had ruled the denomination since its 1796 debut. Like many quarter eagle and dime die pairings from the early Mint era, the dies for the 1807 BD-1 quarter eagle — a single-die-pair year — were used to strike about 6,800 of the gold coins along with an estimated 165,000 silver dimes, which are also known through only the single JR-1 die marriage. These “marriages of convenience” were enabled via the lack of a stated denomination on either type. Although the obverse die is new (of course), the reverse die was previously used for all quarter eagles dated 1805 and 1806.

Though not apparent in our images, the example offered here exhibits abundant luster and excellent eye-appeal. The PCGS population is 9 with 23 graded higher.

Listed at $36,000 in the CDN CPG and $45,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Very Rare 1847-O Liberty Quarter Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

 In 1847 the New Orleans Mint was less than a decade old, at least in terms of coinage manufacture — construction began in 1835 and was completed in 1839 — and the facility set numerous records in the year. The eagle coinage for 1847 was the single largest O-mint production, coming in at 571,000 pieces, and even today examples are readily available through the AU level.
The quarter eagle mintage was also generous, at 124,000 pieces, but surviving examples are scarce in AU condition and legitimately rare in Unc. The PCGS population is only 3 with 3 graded higher.

Listed at $21,000 in the CDN CPG and $22,500 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $21,900
