Lot Description

From the Chester Roche Collection. WOW! What a wonderful example of this VERY RARE Liberty quarter eagle. Demand for the denomination dropped so low in 1885 that only 800 were struck. As expected from a coin of this low mintage, the surfaces are very reflective in the luster. Sharply struck on both sides, the devices are very bold and are nicely frosted. Rich, medium gold with accents of richer orange really are a delight to behold! This coin also happens to be the current CoinFacts Plate. PCGS 4, NGC 2. There are only 10 listed as finer on the PCGS Population Report. The ONLY PCGS MS63 to sell realized $13,513 in March 2014 and keep in mind we sold a PCGS 64 in December 2014 for $20,563. A VERY RARE quarter eagle and soon to be a highlight of any high end late date quarter eagle set! For this FRESH coin, we could see record bidding! Cert. Number 35652591 PCGS # 7837
