Lot Description

1884 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. This low-mintage, 1,950-piece Quarter Eagle is typically offered in one of the four AU grades, and Mint State examples are quite rare in numismatic circles. This premium near-Gem is solidly in the Condition Census and is a simply gorgeous coin to behold. Bright, semi-prooflike surfaces are bathed in vivid reddish-rose patina. The devices are intricately detailed from a full strike, and all areas are silent on the subject of individually conspicuous abrasions. A beautiful, conditionally rare example that is sure to have no difficulty findings its way into another advanced collection of Liberty gold coinage.
