Lot Title: 1878 PCGS MS-63 (green label).
Description: Arm's length viewing alone would lead to the impression that this is an undergraded coin, since the perky luster gleams from what appear to be flawless, unmarked surfaces. Closer examination finds quite a few subtle slidemarks across the cheek, and some random hairlines on the reverse accompany tiny spot corrosion at the second "T" and "M". (PCGS# 007828)
Low Estimate: $525.00

1051The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$950.00
1878 NGC MS-64.
Delicate greyish patina lays gently over both sides, but does not impair appreciation of the very finely textured satin-gold luster beneath. A fine little jewel from the 1870s that offers intricately...
1075The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$925.00
1878 PCGS MS-62, and a 1901 NGC MS-62.
Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. Twenty-three years separate the dates, but the grades are the same for this pair of quarter-eagles. 1878 has slightly pale color and surfaces that display no major...

1878 NGC MS-63.
Mike Wrinkle Collection. Very pretty in terms of luster and color, with an authoritative strike. The fields display slightly more abrasions than expected of the grade.
1015The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$550.00
1878 PCGS MS-62.
Quite pale in overall countenance, though some orange color has returned to the open expanses of the reverse fields. An uneven strike caused some weakness in the stars and at the center of the...
1072The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$400.00
1878 PCGS MS-62.
Fields are noticeably glossy, and though the obverse is not particularly mishandled for the grade, a thin scratch beneath the eagle's beak and another below OF on the reverse must be noted.
858The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$360.00
1878 PCGS MS-62.
Slightly glossy fields are noticeable, as is a thin staple scratch beneath the eagle's beak and below OF on the reverse. Probably a little below average quality for the grade.
