The Regency Auction 45

详细说明: THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART II The terms of the 1878 Bland-Allison Act required the mint to purchase huge sums of silver from western mines. This act brought back the silver dollar as the largest silver coin of the realm and introduced the Morgan dollar. While hundreds of millions of silver dollars flowed out of the mints in Philadelphia, Carson City, New Orleans, and San Francisco, smaller denomination silver coin mintages fell dramatically. Only 13,600 quarters were coined in 1879. Luckily for modern collectors, a number of contemporary collectors took note of lower outputs, and there are a few dozen Gems available for collectors today. This is a BLAZING and BRILLIANT GEM. Intense, semi-Prooflike reflective luster booms boldly on both the obverse and reverse, surrounding thickly frosted, razor sharp design types. The surfaces are nearly without flaw, nothing that deserves individual mention. The eye appeal is magnificent; untoned and mint fresh! PCGS 36, NGC 28, CAC 12. The most recent MS66 with CAC approval was richly toned, and sold in October 2019 for $3,000. We sold a very similar looking coin in a PCGS MS66+ CAC holder for $3,760 our July 2020 Regency Auction. The current CAC CPG value is $3,250. Scarce finer, a great type coin or perfect for a GEM set of Seated Liberty quarters. Cert. Number 13547611 PCGS # 5511.00
