1862 Quarter Eagle, MS64+
Finest Certified at Both Services

1862 $2 1/2 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Although the 1862 quarter eagle has a mintage that tops 98,000 coins -- one of the higher production totals of the period -- Mint State examples are still rare in all grades. Most such pieces are heavily bagmarked, and few grade finer than MS62. The finest known are three NGC MS64 coins and four PCGS MS64, including this piece, the sole MS64+ example (2/17). The present coin is a true near-Gem and easily among the most eye-appealing top-grade pieces known. The strike is razor-sharp, and vibrant orange-gold mint luster attractively blends with mild reflectivity in the fields. A few trivial grazes in the fields limit the grade, while Liberty's cheek is pleasantly clean. An outstanding example of this conditionally rare Philadelphia issue. Population: 4 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (2/17).(Registry values: P2)
