1871 Liberty Quarter Dollar, MS66
Very Rare BG-718A, Finest Known
1871 25C Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-718A, High R.7, MS66
PCGS. The cataloger of the Jay Roe Collection that was sold in
September 2003 noted that just two examples are known of BG-718A, a
variety that was discovered by Rick Montgomery while grading coins
at PCGS about 1990. As of (10/20), PCGS has certified six pieces
and NGC has graded one piece, though we suspect these populations
include resubmissions. Research of auction appearances over the
past 20 years reveals four different examples. The present piece is
finest known, followed by the PCGS MS64 Jay Roe example, the MS62
PCGS quarter in our October 2016 Dallas Signature, and an MS62 PCGS
piece in a September 2013 Ira & Larry Goldberg auction. Among those
four examples, three show a thick rim-to-rim die crack through two
branch berries near 9 o'clock. This lot represents an earlier die
state without that crack. It is a splendid piece with orange-gold
color and an absence of detractions.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2BMX, PCGS# 10955)
