1926 Sesquicentennial of American Independence Quarter Eagle. MS-66+ (PCGS).,This is a lovely Gem with a dominant rose-gold patina that yields to lighter yellow gold around the peripheries. Billowy mint frost also blankets both sides and there are no grade-limiting abrasions. This is one of the more challenging issues to find in high technical grade as most of these, when sold originally, went to non-numismatic buyers. Hence, mishandled and nicked up surfaces are often the rule for this issue. Not so here, as the luster and surfaces are unimpaired and this is one of the finest examples to survive. Just 4 grading events are noted at PCGS for a 66+, and only a single MS-67 ranks finer. With exceptional quality, this would make an excellent selection to an advanced Registry Set collection of these classic gold commemoratives.,PCGS# 7466. NGC ID: 26HL.,PCGS Population: 4; just 1 finer at MS-67.,
