Remarkable MS 66 1831 Quarter Eagle--Tied For Finest Known

1831 MS 66 NGC. Tied with two other pieces as the finest certified (11/97), this coin shows the normal deep reflectivity in the fields, but the die polishing was incomplete leaving the area between the obverse stars and the rim lustrous as well as a rather significant area below each wing. The striking details are almost complete, with above average definition between the juncture of the eagle's left wing and shield. We cannot list any marks that could be used as pedigree identifiers, for to do so would draw unnecessary attention to the few tiny abrasions that are present but have no effect on the stunning overall impression this coin leaves with the viewer. Unquestionably one of the finest Capped Head Left quarter eagles we have ever seen.
