Gem Mint State 1889 Quarter Eagle Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS 1889 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. A superior quality coin for both the issue and assigned grade, this lovely 1889 quarter eagle would do justice to the finest type or date set.

Solidly in the Condition Census for the issue, this lovely piece is sure to see spirited bidding among gold collectors. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection.
