Description du lot

1871-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). Conditionally scarce for a heavily circulated S-mint Quarter Eagle delivery with just 22,000 pieces produced, this piece belongs in another advanced collection of Liberty gold coinage. Rose-gold surfaces are lustrous and satiny with only small, wispy abrasions serving to limit the grade. Otherwise sharply struck, softness of detail to the eagle's left (facing) leg on the reverse is a very common attribute for the issue.
