Great color, luster, and strike. This coin has everything an MS67 needs and then some! Very high end for the grade. The only marks which are of no consequence resides just above liberty's head in the upper field. The overall look of this coin is awesome when rotated; classic booming-rolling luster! One very light tiny copper toning spot near star 2 mentioned for accuracy. No other 'ticks' whatsoever can be found even under high magnification! Definitely 67+++ here!

Wonderful state of preservation! Cartwheel luster abounds and only a very minor, shallow surface tic behind liberty in the right obverse field. Color is sort of a greenish gold with the whole obverse being thickly frosted. On the lower portion of liberty around her neck and shoulder what initially appeared as hairlines are actually excessive die polishing lines when viewed under closer scrutiny (which the images failed to capture). The reverse is also nearly perfect with a single solitary tic in the upper field. A piece of debris resembling a hair is lying on the "E" of "STATES" on down into the field was captured in the holder. A Slight fine luster graze near the "2" amounted to frost disturbance and is of no consequence. The color, luster, and frost is consistant with the obverse as well. Very pretty coin.

Amazingly prestine surfaces with beautiful luster. Marks that show up in the scans are from less than perfect dies. What doesn't show up in the scans is a long slender curving die crack or raised die scratch on liberty's cheek to her neck. The reverse has coarseness inside of the "D" in United and below the "D" of 2 1/2 D. Great strike and wonderful frosty devices. Obverse has a somewhat greenish-gold color with orange highlights. One or two faint hairlines can be found if you look hard enough and use a strong glass under a bright halogen lamp. All told, a nice high end quality piece to "anchor" the set.

Mostly brilliant with lightly mottled orange-gold toning. Few light marks on the obverse consistant for a 66. Line on Liberty's hair is on the holder. Interestingly, there is a "raised" line in the field protruding from Liberty's forehead from a lightly scratched die (variety?). Reverse nearly prestine save for a few ticks in the field. Reverse color is slghtly deeper in toning. Both sides exhibit decent luster, but not "flaming" like the other Quarter Eagles in this set.

Blazing luster over prestine fields. Very light luster graze on liberty that can only be seen with a strong loop and tilted in the light that kept this from a 68. Reverse is solid 67++. Absence of "ticks" of any kind.

Blazing luster and color as expected for a true gem 66. Wonderful original smooth surfaces adds to the patina of the fields. Microscopic ticks scattered about which keeps this in a 66 holder but not distracting or worthy of a single thought at this grade level. A beauty which needs to be held and scrutinized to be fully appreciated. In a word, "flashy+"!!

Part of a mini hoard - all same denomination and year - handed down from Great Grand Dad in a bank roll. As I recall correctly, Great Grand Dad never really trusted paper money or banks in general. He would always replace extra paper money for coins. Rumor has it that he hid coins all over the house and even buried them in a covered can under the house. Well, as time went on, Grand Dad figured there were such stash that were forgotten by Great Grand Dad. Later years development forced the family to move from the area and it has been paved and concrete over for the last 60 to 80 years. There just might be hidden treasure still buried there! Grand Dad worked in a bank in his younger days and moved whatever he managed to get from Great Grand Dad into a bank safety deposit box where it sat for decades.
As all the coins in this mini-hoard, they all exhibit greenish gold patina, frosty devices, and very nice luster. There are a few tiny ticks here and there while the fields are smooth nearly hairline free. The striking details of this specimen is rather good.

Fine line mark on the cheek. Small tick in the obverse field. Coin makes up for those anomalies with frostiness, radiant luster and nice complete strike on the reverse eagle feathers. I've seen several examples of these come with slight weakness in the eagle's left facing leg. Nice original patina.
