Dazzling Gem 1878 Quarter Eagle

1878 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. Perusal of NGC/PCGS population figures reveals the 1878 quarter eagle to be relatively plentiful through the MS63 level of preservation. The certified population drops somewhat in MS64, and declines precipitously in higher grades. The present Gem exudes excellent luster, and its bright yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well defined motifs. A couple of ticks and tiny copper spots do not detract. Census: 29 in 65, 4 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P2)
