1891 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. FS-801. Doubled Die Reverse. MS-65 (PCGS). This is an exceptionally well preserved survivor of a scarce, low mintage issue. Fully stuck throughout, both sides also exhibit lovely satin luster that is intense from the rims to the centers. Pleasingly toned in a blend of orange-gold and pale pink, this is an attractive and solidly graded Gem that is sure to please. 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 eagles amounted to just 10,960 pieces. With so few examples originally produced this issue is understandably scarce in all grades. Coins of this quality are in the distinct minority among the survivors. 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. This is the single finest example certified by PCGS with the FS-801 attribution on the holder. PCGS Population (FS-801 attribution only): 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 145709.
