Lot Description

1882 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Prooflike in finish, as befits a survivor of this low mintage issue, both sides also sport sharp striking detail and handsome orange-gold patina. Among the more desirable Philadelphia Mint Liberty Head quarter eagles, the circulation strike 1882 was produced to the extent of just 4,000 coins. This is a lovely example for the grade that would do nicely in an advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 7834. NGC ID: 25L6. PCGS Population: 20; 39 finer (MS-67 finest). Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
