CAC. The second—and last—Satin Proof in Pratt’s incuse quarter eagle series. After collectors rejected the sandblasted 1908 Proofs, the Mint left the 1909 and 1910 coins unsandblasted off the medal press: a fine satin, or “Roman,” finish that looked too much like a business strike. It sold no better. At the 1910 ANA convention members voted sandblast over satin; the Mint returned to matte from 1911 through 1915. Official mintage is 682, highest of the Proof Indians. Dannreuther notes that many were spent, and that it is unlikely many more than 100 survive. Business-strike quarter eagles were not coined until late in the year, so collectors ordered Proofs to fill the date—then treated them as money.


This specimen readily showcases the fine satin character the issue is prized for today. Pleasing deep golden-apricot color is accented by delicate golden-yellow highlights. Fully struck and nicely preserved. CAC approval places it among the finer certified survivors of an underrated date—a lovely coin for the discerning gold cabinet. 

Ex: Stack’s Bowers Rarities Night, November 1, 2022, lot 5078, where it sold for $16,800.
