Description

Sharp 1895 Quarter Eagle, MS66

1895 $2 1/2 MS66 NGC. The year 1895 marked the last time that the mintage of quarter eagles was fewer than 10,000 circulation strikes. The date is moderately scarce in all grades but becomes rare in Gem and finer condition. The peach-gold surfaces of this Premium Gem are tinted with mint-green and tan and display pleasing luster. A well executed strike delivers sharp detail to the design elements, and close inspection reveals no mentionable marks or spots. Census: 19 in 66, 4 finer (6/09).
