Near-Gem Proof 1872 Quarter Eagle

1872 $2 1/2 PR 64 PCGS. With an original delivery of only 30 proof specimens and a poor rate of survival, this quarter eagle must be considered among the finest certified survivors of its issue. The orange-gold surfaces display a mottled milky-haze that inhibits the reflectivity of the underlying fields, although we note that this coin readily reveals its proof qualities when one examines it under suitable illumination. The strike is free of criticism and the few wispy hairlines that preclude a full gem designation hardly inhibit this specimen's noteworthy eye appeal. Population: 5 in 64, 3 finer (6/99).
