Gorgeous 1894 Gem Quarter Eagle

1894 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. CAC. The 1894 quarter eagle is popular for its low mintage of only 4,000 business strikes. As expected, this date is moderately scarce in all grades, and elusive in Gem and finer condition. This gorgeous MS65 example displays partially prooflike fields that yield mild variance with the razor-sharp, frosty devices. Apricot-gold surfaces display two or three freckles of purple and blue, and are devoid of mentionable marks. Overall eye appeal is significantly above average, a fact aptly recognized by the CAC green label. Census: 12 in 65, 8 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P2)
