Rare, Low Mintage 1885 Quarter Eagle in MS 61

1885 $2 1/2 MS 61. Only 887 quarter eagles were produced in 1885, 800 pieces of which were business strikes. With the exception of the 1881 (691 pieces produced), this issue is the lowest mintage Liberty quarter eagle of the 1880-1907 era. Frosty and sharp, the surfaces are kept from a higher grade by scattered abrasions that are most noticeable against the moderately bright fields. An originally colored, yellow-gold representative for the advanced gold collector.
