Lot Description

Key Date 1875 Quarter Eagle in Mint State 1875 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). The 1875 issue of Liberty quarter eagles was quite limited with a recorded mintage of just 400 pieces. Today there are between 40 and 50 known, the finest is MS-62 at PCGS. The present coin shows good visual appeal with its orange-gold color and nice surfaces. The strike is sharp on all the devices, particularly Liberty's curls and the eagle's talons. A rare and popular collector issue that is seldom offered and most important in any Mint State grade. PCGS# 7822. NGC Census: 3; none finer.
