Not Sold Description
Splendid MS68 1880 Quarter
Tied for Finest Certified
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. However, at this
grade level, few remain. In fact, only three other pieces have been
certified as MS68 (all by NGC), and, unsurprisingly, none are finer
(6/09).This specimen is a remarkable survivor that could fit equally well in a high-end date or type set. The surfaces are lightly toned and pristine beneath layers of sea-green, lavender, golden-brown, and aqua on the obverse, with gold-orange, purple, and aqua on the reverse. Semiprooflike fields establish mild contrast with the lightly frosted devices. The strike is crisp throughout.(Registry values: P1)
