Lot 1214
1867-S $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. The only weak spot in the strike is seen at the lower reverse around the shield and claws. The fully frosty example we now hand over bidders beats (from a technical angle) practically all of the other Mint States of this elusive quarter eagle that have passed through the various grading services. 1867-S has a low mintage, 28,000 made, which accounts for the low survival in Mint condition: Pop 9; 1 finer in 62.
Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700.
