Lot Description

A vivid and attractive example, both sides of this otherwise honey-gold example are further enhanced by blushes of iridescent pinkish-rose. Sharply to fully defined throughout with ample evidence of a semi-prooflike finish from the dies. One of the most eagerly sought issues in the long running Liberty Head quarter eagle series, the 1885 boasts a paltry circulation strike mintage of only 800 coins. This is an uncommonly well defined example that will have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced gold collection.
