Radiant Superb Gem 1901 Quarter Eagle

1901 $2 1/2 MS67 NGC. In 1880 quarter eagle mintages dropped to 2,960 coins, and only Philadelphia made them through the end of the Liberty Head series in 1907. The yearly production slowly started increasing in 1896, but it would be 1902 before the mintage reached the six-figure level. The 1901 emission was only 91,100 examples, of which the present coin is among the couple of dozen finest certified (one MS68 at NGC is finer). Radiant luster emanates from orange-gold, frosty surfaces that are boldly struck and eminently pleasing.(Registry values: N2998)
