1846 Quarter Eagle, A Pleasing MS63
An Important Condition Rarity
One of Three Finest Known

1846 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. The 1846 quarter eagle, sporting a mintage of 21,598 pieces, can be located in circulated grades with a degree of effort. Uncirculated examples, however, are a true condition rarity. The two major grading services have seen a little over 30 specimens in mint condition, none finer than MS63.

The Select piece offered in this lot is one of the three finest seen at either service. When viewed from directly overhead the partially prooflike surfaces yield a mild gold-on-black appearance. Sharply struck throughout, accentuating somewhat the field-motif contrast. The few marks are relatively light and within the parameters of the designated grade. Really a nice coin for an MS63. Population: 2 in 63, 0 finer (3/14).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25GZ, PCGS# 7740, Greysheet# 8267)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
