- Lot Description
- 1872 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-63 (NGC). This prooflike rose-gold survivor comes down to us from a business strike mintage of just 3,000 1872-P Quarter Eagles. Fully struck and free of all but wispy abrasions, the Choice grade from NGC is definitely justified for this piece. With most examples confined to the AU grade level, the 1872 is particularly rare in Mint State. The finest-certified coins listed at PCGS and NGC are Choice Uncs in MS-63 and MS-64.
