1908 PCGS MS-62.

1908 NGC MS-62.

1908 AU-55, 1909 AU-58, and 1927 AU-58, all PCGS.
|
|
The PCGS AU grade level adequately conveys light wear for this trio of quarter-eagles, though at a glance (without the benefit of a loupe), one could easily mistake these for mint-state. Included... |

|
1908, 1911, and 1914, all PCGS MS-62.

|
1908 NGC MS-64.
|

|
1908 PCGS MS-64+.

|
1908 ICG MS-65.

|
1908 PCGS MS-63+.
|
|
Frosty with tantalizing apricot-gold color. The Indian's cheekbone shows a couple of tiny swipes, and these may have decided the grade in favor of MS-63+ over a full "4", but there is no denying the... |

1908 and 1921, both NGC MS-61.

1908 PCGS MS-63.

As often seems true of 1908, the obverse is very sharp, right down to the truble spots in the lowest feather, while the eagle has some softness at this shoulder. This coin is practically free from... |

|
1908 "bearded Indian" PCGS MS-62.
