1890 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-67 (NGC).

1890 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-67 (NGC).，This awe-inspiring example really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Both sides are virtually pristine, the surfaces with a silky smooth texture that is predominantly satiny in finish. Direct lighting, however, does call forth modest semi-reflective tendencies in the fields -- a feature often associated with Mint State survivors of this issue. Fully struck and dressed in vivid rose-gold patina, to see this coin is to admire both its technical quality and eye appeal. Due to a more limited mintage of 8,720 circulation strikes, the 1890 is scarcer than the 1888, 1889 and 1891 in all grades. This late date Liberty Head quarter eagle issue did not see active commercial use, the typical survivor grading AU or Mint State. Among the Uncirculated examples grades in the MS-60 to MS-64 are typical, with Gems rare and Superb Gems all but unknown. In fact, this phenomenal MS-67 is tied with one other identically graded coin at NGC as the finest certified circulation strike 1890 quarter eagle. Expertly preserved, highly attractive, and sure to please even the most discerning gold enthusiast.，，
