1876 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).Plenty of lively mint luster remains on both sides of this pretty pinkish-honey example. Most design elements are boldly, if not sharply defined in the absence of all but trivial rub. Popular as a centennial year issue, the circulation strike 1876 quarter eagle is also eagerly sought due to a limited mintage of 4,176 coins. Most survivors are AU, as here, but even such pieces are scarce in an absolute sense. This issue is a significant condition rarity in Mint State.From the Maurice Snow Collection.
