Description

1852 Quarter Eagle, MS65
Carefully Preserved

1852 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. CAC. With a mintage in excess of 1.1 million pieces, the 1852 is one of the more easily obtainable quarter eagle issues overall of the period, though it becomes conditionally rare at the Gem grade level. This representative displays satiny yellow-gold luster and attractively smooth surfaces. Some minor lightness of strike is noted on the eagle's left (facing) leg and right talons, as is typical of this issue, though the devices are otherwise well-defined. Population: 13 in 65 (1 in 65+), 2 finer (9/14).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25HR, PCGS# 7763, Greysheet# 8274)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
