Pristine 1893 Quarter Eagle, MS67

1893 $2 1/2 MS67 NGC. Most of the quarter eagles of the 1890s have moderate to small mintages--30,000 pieces, in the case of the 1893. Although examples can be found in grades up through MS67, such as the present piece, and occasionally even in MS68, specimens appear less often than pieces dated in the 1900s. As such, they make wonderful acquisitions for type sets, combining the dual appeal of an ultrahigh grade with the cachet of 19th century gold coinage. This Superb Gem 1893 is fully struck, with vibrant, frosty luster over the light greenish-gold surfaces. The fields on both sides are virtually pristine.
