1876 Quarter, Flashy MS67+
Sole Finest Certified

1876 25C MS67+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Fantastic mint frost and flashy luster emanate from each side of this impeccably preserved MS67+ PCGS 1876 Seated quarter, complementing hues of amber-gold, mint, and iridescent patina. The eye appeal is top-notch and the strike is sharp, save for a few stars on the right-hand side.

Population Data (4/15): This sole MS67+ is accompanied by seven other MS67 for the finest at PCGS, making this piece the sole finest certified. The finest at NGC are five MS67 (one MS67 ★ ). This piece is one of four in the numeric MS67 grade with CAC green approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: Another upgrade Gene Gardner chose; his previous example was an MS67 PCGS piece.

Consignor Commentary: A coin whose gorgeous appearance from its vibrant luster and even toning merited that a Plus be added to its grade, thereby moving it to the top of the list for coins of this date. Numismatically there is not much of interest. The date is among the most common in the series (rated only R.3 in Mint State by Briggs). A die crack on the reverse links the tops of the letters ER and ICA before running down close to the denticles by the middle arrow. The coin's strength is its beauty, and this alone makes it a welcome addition to this set.
