Lovely Gem 1852 Quarter Eagle

1852 $2 1/2 MS 65 PCGS. The 1852 has an original mintage of 1.1 million pieces, a total that confirms its status as one of the more easily obtainable quarter eagles from the 1850s. Relative to the number of high quality gold collectors in today's hobby, however, Gems are rare. This green-gold survivor displays smooth, frosty surfaces that would do justice to an issue from the 1890s. The strike is also uncommonly sharp, particularly over the central reverse. One of only nine MS 65 examples certified by both major grading services, this coin is bettered by a single MS 66 PCGS specimen (11/00).
