Description

Low-Mintage 1872-S Quarter Eagle, MS62
Rare in Mint State

1872-S $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. The main coinage focus of the San Francisco Mint in 1872 was half dollars, not quarter eagles, of which only 18,000 were produced. The issue is rare in Mint State. This MS62 example is better-struck than most survivors of the issue, with yellow-gold surfaces that show only minor softness on the lower eagle's claws and Liberty's forelock. Some light die clashing, here seen only on the reverse, is also characteristic. Population: 3 in 62, 4 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P2)
