<B>1894 $2 1/2 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> By 1894, the quarter eagle as a denomination had achieved a sort of "lame duck" status. The San Francisco Mint, issuer of gold pieces for the one region of the country where gold was in domestic use, stopped producing the pieces in 1879. The Philadelphia Mint continued minting quarter eagles, but only in small quantities, and for 1894, circulation-strike production fell to just 4,000 pieces.<BR> The vibrant Premium Gem offered here is a beautifully preserved representative of this boutique issue. The boldly impressed, subtly frosted devices emerge from shining yellow-gold fields that show faint honey accents. Only a handful of minuscule marks appear in the obverse fields, and the reverse is simply exquisite. Population: 6 in 66, 5 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Parker Lee III Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
