详细说明

1862 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). Reddish-khaki in color, more direct angles call forth modest semi-reflective tendencies from the fields. Sharply struck throughout, and free of individually mentionable abrasions despite overall scuffiness to the surfaces that helps to explain the BU designation from NGC. At 98,543 pieces produced, the 1862 is the first of the low-mintage Philadelphia Mint Quarter Eagles from the Civil War era. Examples are scarce-to-rare in all grades with Uncs decidedly in the latter category.
