Most (perhaps all) examples of this date utilize an Old Reverse ("Hub of 1840-1858").  Please report any New Reverse examples.

All 1873-S quarter eagles have a Closed 3 in the date. This is another of the many scarce S Mint quarter eagles. It is difficult to obtain in any grade, and when available, the typical 1873-S is only VF. Mint state specimens of this date are extremely rare and I have seen no more than two or three such coins. Most specimens that I have seen are very weakly struck, both on the head of Liberty and on the eagle on the reverse. Like all S Mint quarter eagles, the 1873-S is very rare and underrated, particularly in grades above EF.
