- 1891 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).
A pretty rose-gold example with a razor sharp strike and intense frosty to modestly semi-prooflike finish. Produced during an era when much of the United States Mint's focus for gold coinage was on double eagles, it should perhaps come as no surprise to read that the circulation strike delivery of the 1891 quarter eagle amounted to just 10,960 pieces. With so few examples originally produced this issue is understandably scarce in all grades. With coins that grade MS-65 or finer in the distinct minority among the survivors, our offering of this lovely Choice Mint State example represents a significant bidding opportunity for discerning gold collectors.
Although most known circulation strike 1891 quarter eagles were struck from a doubled reverse die, the variety is very pronounced and further enhances this coin's appeal. Doubling is boldest on the letters in the word AMERICA, with the letters in the word OF and the D in the denomination also lightly doubled.
PCGS Population: 43; 17 finer (MS-67+ finest).
PCGS# 7843. NGC ID: BLFZ.
