Lot 1274
1862/1 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Wonder of wonders, here are the two known MS-62 1862/1 quarter eagles in the same auction. These are interesting times. This one has flashy luster and clean surfaces for the grade, and the overdate feature is clear with the aid of a glass. The 1 was partially effaced at the Mint, and does show when examined. This one is identifiable by a small edge nick above the fourth star. Nice luster and surfaces, and well struck.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
