Description
Single Finest NGC-Certified
MS68 ★ 1888 Seated Quarter
1888 25C MS68 ★ NGC. NGC has certified four 1888 quarters as
MS68, but within that group, only the present lot has received a
Star designation from NGC. None have been certified above MS68, and
PCGS has yet to certify any above MS67. Thus, this beautiful Seated
quarter can stake a claim to the honor of single finest certified.
Bands of ocean-blue and autumn-gold encroach upon the untoned
centers. The strike is precise aside from a few upper star centers.
The surfaces are immaculate, as if the piece was carefully lifted
from the dies with a gloved hand and placed immediately into the
fastidiously maintained holdings of a family collection, where it
remained for generations prior to its encapsulation by
NGC.(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23VL, PCGS# 5520, GSID# 5161)
