Description
Glorious Superb Gem 1888-S Seated Quarter
Finest-Graded at PCGS
1888-S 25C MS67 PCGS. The popularity of this date among
Seated quarter collectors is unflagging, due to its status as the
only branch mint issue from the 1880s. While some catalogers have
emphasized the rarity of the 1888-S (1.2 million pieces produced),
it is actually one of the more readily obtainable issues in the
entire series (per Larry Briggs, 1991). Superb Gems, however, are
conditionally rare. Indeed, this specimen is the only MS67 and the
single-finest example that PCGS has seen. The present coin is
sharply struck with impeccably preserved, lustrous surfaces visited
by whispers of golden-brown and lavender, joined by cobalt-blue on
the reverse. Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23VN, PCGS# 5521, GSID# 5220)
