Lot 1704
1875. PCGS graded AU-50. Popular key date. Nicely toned. Only 400 minted. Similar to the 1875 dated Gold Dollar, the 1875 Quarter Eagle was produced to an extent rarely seen on business strikes. The number of survivors ranges from as low an estimate as 15 to as high as 25 coins. There is no doubt that this date is one of the Key Liberty Quarter Eagles. A very enviable About Uncirculated 50 representative, this coin is light pinkish gold with subtle overtones. Any original prooflike tendencies which higher grade survivors show is long gone, due to the circulation wearing away the mint frost that once existed. Sharply defined with a scattering of inconsequential field abrasions over both sides. Clearly, this low mintage rarity represents an important bidding opportunity for the advanced gold specialist. Pop 5; 26 finer (PCGS # 7822) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
