Description

1866-S Two and a Half, AU58+
Fifth Finest Example at PCGS

1866-S $2 1/2 AU58+ PCGS. CAC. Coming from a mintage of 38,900 pieces, this near-Mint 1866-S quarter eagle is conditionally scarce. Finer pieces, in Mint State, are rare. This coin is the only Plus-designated AU58 example at PCGS (9/20). Luster remains in the fields, and only the faintest trace of high-point wear is evident on the devices. A few scattered abrasions to not distract from the appeal of the bright yellow-gold surfaces. Population: 12 in 58 (1 in 58+), 4 finer (8/20).
From The Maurice Storck Collection. (Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25K8, PCGS# 7804, Greysheet# 8395)
