Description
Gem 1898-S Quarter With Great Mint Luster
1898-S 25C MS65 PCGS. The first of three S-mint dates sent to the Philippines. Both branch mint issues are rare in Mint State. Dave Lawrence and John Feigenbaum state that the 1898-S is undervalued and may rank second to the 1901-S. This piece has surfaces that are bright-white and extremely lustrous. There are a couple of minor milling marks near Liberty's temple and a nick or two on her cheek that kept this coin from a higher grade. The strike is exceptional, with full details on the eagle's claws and the arrow feathers. Another scarce coin in Gem grade, as reflected in the NGC and PCGS population reports showing 13 graded this high, and only six coins finer (2/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
