1905 Quarter Eagle, MS68
Tied Finest at Either Service

1905 $2 1/2 MS68 PCGS. Beautiful yellow-gold surfaces are imbued with white-gold highlights. As the lofty grade suggests, abrasions are nowhere to be found. Striking weakness is similarly absent, with all design elements rendered in razor-sharp relief. This issue is common, although the most frequently seen grades are XF and AU, according to Bowers. He estimates that about 5,500 to 8,000 Mint State coins survive, but that only 10% of these qualify for Gem status. By the time that the MS68 level of the present example is reached, populations dwindle down to the vanishing point, with only 6 certifications recorded at PCGS, and 12 at NGC, with none finer at either service (3/26).(Registry values: N1)
