Lot Description

1893 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-66+ (PCGS). Delightful rose-orange surfaces are sharply struck with a full quota of billowy satin luster. An underrated issue compared to most later date Liberty Head quarter eagles, the circulation strike 1893 (30,000 pieces produced) is scarce in an absolute sense and rare in Gem Mint State. As one of the finest examples known to PCGS this premium quality coin would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 7845. NGC ID: 25LH. PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer (both MS-67).
