Lot 661
Quarter Eagle. 1860. NGC graded Proof 64. Cameo. This is the Garrett-Trompeter coin and is identified by a tiny planchet flake in the field just before Liberty's nose where some foreign matter adhered to the die. Only 112 were minted on April 5, most of them melted in 1862; of these only 30 or so survive. Well struck on all devices, and featuring strong cameo contrast against the mirror fields. A simply outstanding coin that is desirable in every regard.
From the Garrett Collection sale, Stack's 1976; later the Ed Trompeter, Superior Galleries, Lot 40, 2-92.
