Another low mintage S-mint quarter eagle, ranking near the top of the population. As David Akers noted, this date, from an original mintage of just 27,000, 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..." Decades after David Akers published his monumental volumes on U.S. gold coins, the grading data still prove his observations true. Frosty, satiny luster blooms vividly on the delicately toned surfaces. Some light weakness, typical of the type on the lower eagle's leg feathers. Liberty's portrait is sharply struck. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 4, NGC 2, CAC 4. The most recent example with CAC approval sold for nearly $15,000 a DECADE ago! The current CAC CPG value is listed at $18,000 and the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,500. Just two are graded finer, a 65 and a 65+. A real prize for the advanced collector, this near-GEM 73-S quarter eagle represents a very rare opportunity for anyone looking to upgrade their set. Cert. Number 5786541 PCGS # 7820.00
