- Lot Description
- 1873-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. Resplendent rose-orange surfaces are fully frosted in texture with hardly any abrasions of even a small, wispy nature. The strike is generally sharp, especially on the obverse, and the eye appeal is unsuppressed by that of any other 1873-S Quarter Eagle that this cataloger can ever remember handling. Tied for Condition Census #1 among survivors of this 27,000-piece issue.<br /> The 1873-S is a heavily circulated, frontier era issue that increases steadily in rarity as one advances through the numismatic grading scale. The issue is unknown any finer than near-Gem.
