Pricing & History
1888 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. In 1888 the mintage of quarter eagles jumped to 16,001 pieces from 6,160 coins the previous year. Previous years from the 1880s had similarly tiny mintages. However, few Gems were set aside even though lower-grade Uncirculated coins are relatively available. The surfaces on 1888 quarter eagles are seldom prooflike as seen on previous years, and this piece shows a decidedly frosted finish, a finish that is comparable to a San Francisco product. The strike is even and well brought up, but not quite complete. Each side shows lovely reddish-tinted mint luster, and there are no singularly important abrasions on either side. Census: 17 in 65, 4 finer (4/10). Grade: 65, Service: NGC, Service No.: 7840, Issue Date: 1888, Denomination: $2 1/2
