Scarce Gem 1878 Liberty Quarter Eagle

1878 $2 1/2 MS 65 NGC. This is an extraordinary representative of this conditionally challenging P-mint issue. Both sides are draped in mint frost that yields to modest brightness in the fields as the coin rotates beneath a light. Fully struck with pristine surfaces, this coin is difficult to surpass in terms of technical quality. Population: 17 in 65, with only two finer (11/00).
