1908 Indian Quarter Eagle NGC Proof-67 . A glorious, nearly flawless example of this first year of issue Indian Head quarter eagle. The surfaces display the heavy matte texture imparted by the dies and the distinctive deep yellow-orange color that is so often encountered on Matte Proof gold coins such as this. This is the first year of the Matte Proof Indian series and as such , there is a greater demand for this date than most others. These early Matte Proof gold issues were not initially popular with collectors and sales generally drifted lower until the denomination was no longer offered in a Proof format (1915 being the last year Proofs were struck of this design). Exceptional strike and magnificent in every aspect. NGC Census: 25; none finer.
