Liberty Quarter Eagles
1887 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. A small mintage of 6,160 quarter eagles in 1887 resulted in limited Mint State survivors. This near-Gem example displays a sharp strike and semiprooflike fields with rich straw-gold color. A few small ticks limit the grade but pose little distraction. Census: 9 in 64, 2 finer (10/16).
