Liberty Quarter Eagles
1879 $2 1/2 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The mintage of quarter eagles declined sharply at the Philadelphia Mint in 1879, to 88,990 pieces from the previous year's total of nearly 300,000. The surviving population of high-grade pieces is quite small. When offered, examples tend to be XF or AU. High-end Premium Gems are rare indeed. The present coin offers pristine yellow and rose-gold surfaces, with vibrant mint luster to complement the razor-sharp devices. Population: 8 in 66 (3 in 66+), 1 finer (6/17).
Ex: Sacramento Signature (Heritage, 3/2011), lot 4655.
