1902 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle


1902 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle

Proof Mintage: 193
Obverse Text: 1902 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | 2 ½ D.

The 1902 Proof Liberty Head Quarter Eagle comes from a Proof mintage of 193 pieces. The median grade of certified examples is in the Proof-63 to 64 range. The population statistics for Proof 1902 quarter eagles, as reported by the two major certification services, are significantly larger than the Guide Book mintage, indicating that some specimens have been certified on two or more different occasions since the mid-1980s. Writing in the 2008 reference United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, John Q. Dannreuther asserts that 120 to 140 different specimens are extant. Early 20th-century Proof gold coins have long been popular with advanced type collectors and specialists, and will likely always command strong premiums.
