Description

Desirable 1876 Liberty Quarter Eagle, MS62

1876 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. A truly scarce issue in the Liberty quarter eagle series; the original mintage was just 4,176 coins, and the few survivors are typically worn. In the 1970s, David Akers found only one Mint State coin offered in several hundred auctions over a period of five decades. An opportunity to bid on two Mint State coins and another near-Mint example in a single sale is a landmark event. This remarkable piece has satiny light yellow luster and sharp design definition with excellent surfaces. Some strike softness is evident on each side, typical of nearly all known pieces. Population: 3 in 62, 2 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P2)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
