详细说明

1870-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (NGC). A delivery of just 16,000 pieces for the 1870-S represents a significant reduction in Quarter Eagle production at the San Francisco Mint from the 1866-1869 era. Scarce from both absolute and condition standpoints, this Choice AU retains considerably more detail than the typically offered VF or EF survivor. Overall definition is quite sharp, in fact, and the often-seen softness of strike is not much in evidence even on the reverse. Medium-orange in color, with light haziness and a bit of trivial glossiness to the surface texture that we mention for accuracy's sake.
