1879 25C MS (PCGS#5511)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Glorious Superb Gem Uncirculated 1879 Quarter 1879 Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-67 (PCGS). This awe-inspiring example really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Both sides are vividly toned, the obverse in blended steel-olive, cobalt blue and champagne-pink iridescence. On the reverse one will see even more exquisite target toning in shades of champagne-pink, antique gold, steel-blue, salmon-pink and silver-apricot. Intensely lustrous throughout with generally pristine surfaces that are just a few wispy marks away from an even higher grade. Beginning in 1879 and continuing through 1890 the Philadelphia Mint would deliver few circulation strikes as the Treasury Department distributed huge quantities of older quarters that had been hoarded during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The 1879 was produced to the extent of just 13,600 pieces in this format, and this is one of the very finest survivors available to today's discerning numismatists. Provenance: From the Stendebach Collection. PCGS Population: 25; 8 finer (MS-68+ finest). PCGS# 5511. NGC ID: 23VB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
