1896 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle


1896 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle

Proof Mintage: 132
Obverse Text: 1896 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | 2 ½ D.

Along with the 1897 and 1898, the 1896 is the most consistently well produced and attractive Proof issue in the Liberty Head quarter eagle series. As such, survivors from this 132-piece issue enjoy particularly strong demand for specimen gold type purposes. This is also one of the more frequently encountered issues of its type, although we caution bidders that with no more than 80 coins believed extant the 1896 is understandably rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics.
