Single Finest Certified Mint State 1888 Quarter Eagle An Awe-Inspiring Superb Gem 1888 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-67 (NGC). A mandatory acquisition for the collector assembling the finest set of Liberty Head quarter eagles possible, this glorious Superb Gem sits alone atop the PCGS Population Reportand NGC Censusfor the issue. It is a highly lustrous, satiny coin further adorned with vivid color in bright rose-orange. Silky smooth surfaces approach perfection, and nearly full striking is also worthy of praise. Despite having a higher mintage than the preceding circulation strike quarter eagles from the 1880s, the 1888 was still produced in limited numbers when viewed in the wider context of U.S. Mint history. Survivors from a delivery of 16,001 pieces are scarce in grades through MS-64 and rare in MS-65 and MS-66. In certified MS-67 the offered coin is unique, as above, and represents what could very well be a once in a lifetime bidding opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: just 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 7840. NGC ID: 25LC. Click here for certification details from NGC.
