<B>1850 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC.</B></I> The 1850 quarter eagle is much scarcer than its mintage of 252,923 pieces would suggest. While easily found in lightly circulated grades, it is surprisingly difficult to locate in Mint State, and in near-Gem condition it is rare. This is an exceptionally attractive example that is typically struck, with usual softness on the eagle's left (facing) leg and talons. The fields are bright and semi-prooflike with innumerable striations in the fields (which, of course, are what created the semi-prooflikeness). The surfaces are also very clean overall with the only noticeable abrasion being a milling mark adjacent to star 4. Census: 6 in 64, 2 finer (12/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
