Lot Description

Gorgeous Superb Gem 1876 Quarter 1876 Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. This marvelous superb Gem 1876 quarter offers incredible quality, not only for its grade but also for its vibrant luster and toning, which cartwheels off the obverse and reverse. The strike is fairly sharp too, although some of the dentils are a trifle soft in areas and there is a meandering die crack through the reverse legends. This centennial year for America brought on many celebrations, and perhaps this stunning coin was set aside at that time for its incredible luster. This is the single finest example graded by PCGS. Furthermore, this is one of the finest seen of the type, with just a handful of MS-68's seen finer. An extraordinary Superb Gem that will entice any specialist with its remarkable charms. PCGS# 5501. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
