Liberty Quarter Eagles
1871-S $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. From a small mintage of 22,000 pieces, the 1871-S is an elusive issue in absolute terms. However, the 1871-S is seen more often in high grade than the small production total would suggest. It may be that a small hoard of high-grade pieces existed at one time. At the MS65 grade level, the 1871-S is very rare. PCGS has graded two examples (including this coin) at the Gem level, with a single piece finer, while NGC has certified two coins in MS65, with none finer (6/17).
This delightful Gem exhibits well-detailed design elements, with a touch of the usual softness on star 4 and the eagle's left (facing) leg. The vivid yellow-gold surfaces are well-preserved and both sides radiate vibrant mint luster. Eye appeal is off the charts.
