The 1899 is a Playboy Playmate amongst Band Camp girls...It's not really a fair contest.

Here is the highest grade piece I have. NGC graded it MS-67. It's a bear to photograph, at least for me.

All five of these type coins are among the hardest get when you looking to complete the early, pre-1834 gold type set. The early quarter eagles are where "the rubber meets the road." The most common type coin in this group is the 1804.

The early gold.....It's an area of US numismatics that I've never seriously explored.

Actually, just about every 1825 quarter eagle has P-L fields, which makes it harder to buy them. Every mark is magnified because of that. The mintages were low for all of these coins from the 1820s, and the dies didn't get used enough to wear off the P-L surfaces.

I think the condition is in a sweet spot. Most proofs under PRF-60 have too many abrasions, but in 61 or 62 they can be very attractive coins and affordable. (Affordable, if I give up several other coins)
Hope to have one like this some day!2 -
