Description

Exceptional 1911 Gem Quarter Eagle

1911 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. The striking quality of the 1911 quarter eagle lacks the desired fullness on the eagle's wingtip and the headdress feather tips (Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2006). This particular Gem is exceptional in that all of the design elements are rather sharply struck, with none revealing even a hint of weakness. Additionally, orange-gold luster is imbued with traces of light green, and both sides are nicely preserved. This issue is virtually unobtainable any finer, as NGC and PCGS have graded only seven pieces higher.(Registry values: N2998)
