Shining MS61 1876 Quarter Eagle

1876 $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Though proof issues of 1876 saw a boost of interest from centennial-year celebrations, the business strikes of that year did not see a similar spike, and coinage of quarter eagles remained low. This strongly lustrous, well struck Mint State survivor shows light abrasions and scattered, wispy marks in the yellow-gold fields, though series enthusiast know that the apparent flaw at Liberty's upper neck is actually a die diagnostic for the issue. Census: 7 in 61, 7 finer (8/08).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25KU, PCGS# 7824, GSID# 8301)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 4.18 grams
AGW: 0.12095oz
Mintage: 4,100
