Description du lot

Vivid golden-honey and orange-apricot surfaces support softly frosted mint luster. Both sides are sharply struck and remain virtually untouched across all but the most vulnerable regions. The eye appeal is superlative.<p>With a mintage of just 240,000 pieces, the 1914 quarter eagle is the second rarest issue of the series, behind only the famous 1911-D. While circulated examples are relatively attainable, in Choice Mint State and above finding an example becomes much more challenging. For the collector seeking a truly premium representative of this scarce issue, the current offering is an important one that is worthy of serious consideration.
