Near-Perfect 1902 Quarter Eagle 1902 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-67+ (PCGS). Exceptional quality defines this breathtakingly beautiful Superb Gem 1902 quarter eagle. Bathed in vivid golden-apricot color, the surfaces also exhibit intense satin to softly frosted luster. This virtually pristine quarter eagle would serve as a focal point in even the finest gold cabinet. At the turn of the century, quarter eagle production was confined to just the Philadelphia Mint, where in 1902 some 133,540 circulation strike were produced. While not an especially rare coin, the 1902 quarter eagle has long been popular among type collectors due to the overall excellent striking quality and relative ease of locating Gem Mint State examples. The situation changes at the higher Uncirculated grade levels. While a few MS-67 quarter eagles may be obtainable with some determination, above that level the issue is prohibitively rare, offering a challenge to even the most dedicated of collectors. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier ex D.L. Hansen Collection. PCGS Population: 8; 2 finer (both MS-68). PCGS# 7854. NGC ID: 25LT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
