The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1867 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). A low-mintage Philadelphia Mint Quarter Eagle from the 1860s, the 1867 was produced to the extent of just 3,200 pieces in business strike format. As gold continued to be held back from circulation in the Eastern United States even through the Civil War was starting to fade into history, we do not believe that the 1867 saw appreciable circulation as an issue. Even so, and for some as yet unexplained reason, most of the very few examples that have come down to the present day are lightly worn and grade EF or AU. Mint State coins are of the utmost rarity, the Choice Unc in this lot representing our first such offering for this issue in recent memory.<br />     With bright rose-gold color and shimmering semi-prooflike luster, this delightful coin is at the upper reaches of Condition Census. Fully struck with intricate definition, the surfaces are free of significant abrasions. Lovely!
