The Regency Auction 29

Losbeschreibung: It is not hard to see why this is one of the absolute finest 1856-S quarter eagles that survives to this day. The quality is SUPERB! What is surprising is that after spending 155 years on the ocean floor, it can exist in such a pristine state of preservation. Just a few tiny ticks keep this coin from a full MS65 designation. Overall, the surfaces are pretty clean. A full booming luster beams all over. Both sides are a brilliant gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations (remember this coin had sea floor crust all over it). Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and do standout. The eye appeal is great! The PCGS Ship Wreck pop for this coin 1 with only 2 higher. The regular PCGS pop is 0. CAC has beaned total of 4 coins (Ship wreck and non ship wreck included). The extreme rarity of this date and grade are more than proven. Cert. Number 35225295 PCGS # 670753
