Description

Remarkable 1880 Quarter, MS68

1880 25C MS68 NGC. A total of 13,600 quarter-dollar business strikes were produced in 1880, a fair number of which have survived through the Premium Gem level of preservation.
This MS68 specimen is a remarkable survivor that could fit equally well in a high-end date or type set. Lightly toned surfaces are essentially pristine beneath layers of sea-green, lavender, golden-brown, and aqua on the obverse and gold-orange, purple, aqua on the reverse. Semiprooflike fields establish mild contrast with the lightly frosted devices. This crisply struck coin is just one of four MS68-graded coins known to NGC with none numerically finer (3/09).(Registry values: P1)
