Losbeschreibung

An absolutely gorgeous example that will appeal to quality conscious collectors who also appreciate richly toned silver. Both sides are highly lustrous and frosty with an overlay of blended olive-blue, copper-gray and antique silver patina. The strike is razor sharp, and the surfaces are expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Circulation strike quarter production remained limited in 1886 as commercial channels were still absorbing large numbers of older-dated coins that had been hoarded during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. These pieces began to re-enter circulation in the East and Midwest when silver and Legal Tender Notes achieved parity on April 20, 1876. The coin offered here numbers among the finest certified survivors from a mintage of just 5,000 circulation strikes.
