<B>1886<$2 1/2> MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1880s are noteworthy for the low mintages in the quarter eagle series. Only 4,000 pieces were produced of the 1886 and remarkably few were set aside in Gem condition. By combining the population data from both NGC and PCGS only four pieces have been certified in MS65 grade with one coin finer (11/05). This is a fully struck example that has lovely mint luster that has taken on a pronounced overlay of reddish patina.<BR><I>Purchased from Abner Kreisberg in July 1961 for $90.</B></I><BR><I>From The John H. Schroeder Collection.</B></I>
