Description

Spectacularly Toned 1879 Quarter, MS66

1879 25C MS66 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. While the fields on this piece are bright and semireflective, they do not possess the deep flash seen on many 1879 quarters that were obviously struck at the beginning of the production run of 13,600 circulation strikes. Both obverse and reverse have an off-center circle of brilliance that is surrounded in turn by bright rose and cobalt-blue circles of toning. A magnificent, upper-end example of this popular, low-mintage date. Population: 45 in 66, 23 finer (7/10).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23VB, PCGS# 5511, GSID# 5152)

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 6.25 grams
ASW: 0.18085oz
