1900 $2.50 Gold Quarter Eagle PR-67 DCAM PCGS CAC

---

In 1900, the Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 205 proof examples of the gold quarter eagle, making any surviving specimen an extraordinary find. This specific coin represents a pinnacle of preservation, certified in a superlative Proof 67 Deep Cameo state and verified by for its exceptional quality. The Deep Cameo designation highlights the intense, frosty contrast between the raised design elements and the deeply mirrored fields, a visual effect that is incredibly difficult to achieve on early twentieth-century gold coinage. Struck from 90 percent pure gold, this 2.50 dollars denomination coin contains 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, it bears no mintmark. The obverse is cleanly dated with the year 1900, anchoring this stunning proof strike to the very dawn of a new century.
