- Key Date and Mint State 1881 Liberty Quarter Eagle 1881 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). One of the few struck this year and exceptional quality too, as so few Mint State examples are known. The issue was limited to a mere 640 pieces as demand and production nearly came to a halt. Survivors are scarce to rare, and Mint State pieces of course the most prized. Frosted on Liberty's head which contrasts with the satiny fields that surround. Turning to the reverse the eagle is reasonably sharp but shows minor softness on his thighs and claws. Scattered light handling marks as expected for the grade assigned, but good overall appeal for this rare date. PCGS# 7833. NGC Census: 5; 2 finer (MS-63 finest) in all designations.
