Description
Marvelous Gem 1897 Quarter Eagle
1897 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. CAC. This is a marvelous Gem example of this low-mintage, underrated quarter eagle issue. The 1897's mintage was only 29,768 coins, continuing a string of low-mintage Philadelphia-only emissions that began in 1880 and would last until 1902. The surfaces are somewhat prooflike, as expected, and greenish-gold and lilac tints compete for attention. The strike is full, but a tick below the eagle's right (facing) claw requires singular mention. Population: 70 in 65, 32 finer (12/09).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25LM, PCGS# 7849, GSID# 8322)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
