Owner Comments:

The 1881 quarter had a small mintage of only 12,000 pieces. Less than 300 coins appear to have survived with about 200 of them grading MS-61 or higher. This high percentage of survivors in mint state condition can be explained by the fact that most of the coins were hoarded and failed to circulate in commerce. Circulated examples are rarely seen today.
