The surfaces have a bright, metallic, satin-like sheen like no other. And there is no need to fret about an unsuccessful strike left by the rebound of the dies that coined this quarter eagle, because even a cursory examination of the piece reveals nice clarity of detail, including the centers. A frosty gem housed in an early style PCGS holder.

As can be seen, the coins struck for this expo, such as this handsome Quarter Eagle, incorporate some of more modern designs found on America's coinage. Instead of a traditional look, the artist proposed an unusual motif of Columbia seated on a mythological hippocampus, half-horse, half-sea serpent. The eagle, too, was rendered in a new way not seen before on an American production coin. It was modeled upon a similar eagle seen on one of the rare Pattern issues.
