Condition Scarcity 1912 Gem Quarter Eagle

1912 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. Like most issues in the series, the 1912 can be found without little cost or difficulty in average Uncirculated condition. A quick check of census data from the two major services reveals more than 4,000 Mint State pieces, yet the number of Gem examples is less than 100. This lovely specimen exhibits bright satin like surfaces accented in delicate apricot-gold patina. Both sides show a sharp strike with good detailing even on the lower feathers of the headdress. A couple of small marks are noted above the feathers in the obverse field, and concealed in the bonnet feathers, but they hardly detract. Population: 51 in 65, 5 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2896, PCGS# 7944, GSID# 8607)
