Lot 668
Quarter Eagle. 1894. NGC graded MS-68. That's right "68"! This is no ordinary "gem", if any gem can be considered ordinary, but a full on monster of a coin, a stunning jewel that is utterly perfect. Pristine surfaces, blazing original color and abundant luster. Add to this a low mintage of a scant 4,000 business strikes and one instantly knows that this is no common date in uncommon condition. It is, of course, the only 1894 graded this high by NGC or PCGS, there isn't another competing coin out there. Clearly this coin is the Finest Known of the date, and a glance will confirm the powerful beauty contained in this coin. As to the decades of Liberty Quarter Eagle production, NGC has only graded 11 this high, PCGS for its work has awarded only 3 coins this grade, making this coin tied for the finest of its type. If you are searching for a "museum quality" gem to add to your collection, then be prepared to do fierce battle for this coin, for the winner will be proud indeed.
