1904 PCGS MS-65. 1904 PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1904 PCGS MS-65.
Description: As if the Philadelphia mint had suddenly perfected the art of striking gold coinage in 1904, all denominations from that date and mint are almost always reliably well produced and attractive. This quarter-eagle, graded MS-65 by PCGS, is no exception. Exceedingly sharp definition seems fully struck, with every last feature brought up in bold relief, including the peripheral lettering, which is almost impossibly well brought up. Generously layered with satiny texture, the peach-gold surfaces exude tremendous mint luster and confident original quality. There are higher graded examples in existence, but it is difficult to imagine the aesthetic quality of this coin being easily surpassed. Simply magnificent!

916The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$450.00
1904 PCGS MS-63+.
The reverse certainly grades at least MS-64 but the obverse shows a few tiny nicks above Liberty's portrait. Lustrous lemon-gold.
1053The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$450.00
1904 PCGS MS-63.
As always seems to be said of 1904, the devices have been brought up to an exquisite level of sharpness on both sides. Butterscotch gold overall, the devices display slight grunge buildup, especially...
1054The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$475.00
1904 PCGS MS-63+.
The "plus" grade sometimes seems out of place for coins that appear to have no discernible premium qualities, but in this case, the grade really does seem very close to MS-64. Perhaps some minor...
1055The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$700.00
1904 PCGS MS-64 CAC.
A sparkling jewel with beautiful satin-gold luster, each side exhibits powerful striking details. Free from spots, aside from a tiny bit of grunge worked into the shield.
1085The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,050.00
1904 NGC MS-65.
Sweet corn-gold on both sides, with the reverse showing a brief hint of semi-prooflike flash around the eagle's talons and the arrowheads. This is a spot-free coin, with most of the meager bag marks...
1086The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,150.00
1904 PCGS MS-65.
Impeccable surfaces show no contact except for a nearly invisible hairline across Liberty's jaw. While the medium-gold color benefits from very faint wintergreen iridescence, some minor copper alloy...
888The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$3,300.00
1904 NGC MS-67.
The MS-67 grade pretty much tells the whole story in concise fashion: amazing strike, spectacular luster, and surfaces free from distraction. Look closer to appreciate the lovely peppermint-blue...
806The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$525.00
1904 MS-62.
Very few marks are present, which might lead to higher grade consideration under most circumstances, but some hairlines scattered hither and thither hold back the grade. MS-62 is appropriate for such...
807The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$600.00
1904 NGC MS-63.
A glimmer of semi-prooflike quality lingers on the obverse, where the fields display perceptible reflectivity. Normal luster is seen on the reverse, with both sides sharply defined.
397The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$360.00
1904 NGC MS-61.
Lemon-gold with only fair luster (for a 1904), though there is some nicer orange peel effect in the obverse lower fields. Several hairlines cross over the portrait and likely account for the MS-61...
398The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$3,400.00
1904 NGC MS-67.
Far be it for such a small coin to induce awe in the eyes of an observer, but just that reaction is justified by the extremely high level of preservation for this astounding "superb gem". Liberty's...

1904 Mint Error/Reverse Struck Thru. PCGS MS-63.
Several copper spots spread out over the obverse, while the reverse is almost free from such aberrations, but is affected instead by a planchet depression just beneath the eagle's right (observed)...
789The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$725.00
1904 PCGS MS-63.
Extremely well struck as always, with a neat little die crack connecting the lowest point of the bust to the rim at 5:00. Surfaces are original and display some very tiny specks of carbon, but no...
790The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,100.00
1904 PCGS MS-64.
As always for a 1904 gold coin, details are exceedingly sharp and finely delineated everywhere, from the dentils, to the stars, to the curl above Liberty's ear. With vibrant luster, this...
791The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,650.00
1904 MS-65.
There is a considerable jump in cost between MS-64 and MS-65, reflected by a doubling of value in most price guides, and this 1904 quarter-eagle seems destined to end up at either of those grade...
792The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,450.00
1904 PCGS MS-65.
Extremely sharp details are not unexpected of a 1904 Coronet quarter-eagle, since all gold issues of that date are known for production quality of high technical excellence. This coin sizzles with...
969The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$450.00
1904 NGC MS-62.
Projecting from the top center of Liberty's head is a hairlike strikethrough. Not to be outdone, the graders at NGC elected to include an actual hair, adhering to the field near the twelfth star. ...
725The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$340.00
1904 AU.
Charming, flickering flashy fields and finely contrasting devices offer obvious prooflike character, and the exciting look entices higher grade consideration, but as is often the case with actual...
1081The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$310.00
1904 NGC MS-61.
At arm's length, this coin appears much cleaner than anticipated of the MS-61 grade, and even under a glass, only tiny shallow abrasions can be found. Finely struck and a little above average for the...
1082The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,750.00
1904 NGC MS-65.
Copper spot remnants remain on both sides, but they are faint and not intrusive in the slightest. A very lustrous coin with a terrific strike.
1083The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$4,100.00
1904 NGC MS-67.
Lavish mint frost suffuses each side and lovingly embraces the exceedingly sharp details exhibited by all the primary devices. Each of the obverse stars is fully delineated, and there is not even a...
842The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$925.00
1904 Coronet quarter-eagle, PCGS MS-63
Sunrise-gold color bursts forth from both sides of this flashy, eye-catching little jewel. Slightly semi-prooflike as is often the case for gold coins struck in 1904, and endowed with a very nice...
843The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$1,150.00
1904 Coronet quarter-eagle, NGC MS-64
A couple of copper spots appear at the base of the portrait, and some tiny black stains wander rather aimlessly throughout areas of the reverse. Minor detriments notwithstanding, this coin easily...
957The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$275.00
1904 MS-62+.
Even under careful examination this diminutive coin appears to be practically a Gem with no major marks or hairlines and lovely mint luster. Most bidders would have to be told in advance that there...

1904 NGC MS-63.
This prominently struck specimen's velvetlike surfaces beam an exquisite yellow-gold vibrancy. As would be expected, there are a few minute contact ticks, plus russet toning is perceived at some...

1904 NGC MS-65.
This lot offers a splendid specimen of a rather common date from this long lived and popular series. An impressively struck example that radiates a honey gold coloration from its visually dazzling...

A PQ piece that exhibits a phenomenal visual ebullience radiating from its yellow-gold surfaces. When scrutinizing with a powerful glass, microscopic ticks are perceived in the fields. additionally,...

1904 NGC MS-66.
For a collector putting together an exceptional gold coin type set, here is an ideal candidate for the quarter eagle. As a common date in the series, 1904 is just about the least expensive option in...
948The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$700.00
1904 NGC MS-63.
A dazzling glow radiates from this date's velvety surfaces. This issue's enhancing orange-gold hues and sharp design motifs serve to nullify the visual perception of a few microscopic ticks.
949The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,650.00
1904 NGC MS-65.
Satiny luster enriches the luxurious yellow-gold surfaces of this common date, and the eye-appeal, along with availability, combine to make this an excellent selection for type. A couple of toning...

1904 NGC MS-65.

An orange-gold glow spews from this specimen's intensely lustrous surfaces. Some minor ticks and a few trivial hairlines do not dampen the excellent visual appeal of this prominently struck date.
