Lot Description

1877-S Liberty Quarter Eagle--Reverse Struck Thru--MS-63 (NGC). NGC has mounted this coin with the reverse up in the holder, obviously to showcase a shallow strikethrough at the lower border. The error does not, however, affect the fraction 1/2 to a great degree, and the balance of the devices are fully defined. Pretty orange-gold color to both sides, with a only a few wispy abrasions scattered about. Rare Mint error on a U.S. gold coin!
