Proof 67 NGC Indian Quarter Eagle A matte or sandblast
finish was seen on gold proofs of this year, but is different
from the matte or sandblast finish of proofs from 1908
and 1911. Writing in his Encyclopedia of United States
and Colonial Proof Coins, 1722-1989 (1989), Walter Breen
commented: "Fine sandblast finish. Different from
all previous matte coins; under a microscope the surfaces
show millions of minute shiny facets. Much rarer than
its mintage figure would suggest." Lovely lightly
sandblasted finish with intense originality makes this
incredible Indian Quarter Eagle one that the specialist
could wait years before having such an opportunity present
itself again. NGC has certifed a mere 8 specimens and
2 finer in it's census report.
