1893 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle


1893 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle

Proof Mintage: 106
Obverse Text: 1893 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | 2 ½ D.

The Philadelphia Mint produced 106 Proof quarter eagles in 1893, a relatively generous total by Liberty Head quarter eagle standards, although more limited than those of such later date issues as the 1900, 1901 and 1902. Such comparisons are virtually meaningless, however, since classic U.S. Mint Prof gold coinage as a group is scarce with most issues rare from a market availability standpoint. This is certainly the case with the Proof 1893 quarter eagle. The experts at PCGS CoinFacts estimate that only 50 to 75 coins are extant, and with most examples off the market in tightly held cabinets auction appearances are few and far between.
