1860-S $2.50 MS (PCGS#7793)

Summer 2026 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: Lovely rose-gold with soft honey undertones and a generous quotient of frosty mint luster. A few faint handling marks are noted here and there, though the overall appeal is certainly high within the parameters of the certified MS-62 grade level. Appreciable softness is confined to Liberty's brow and the eagle's right leg, the balance of the features sharply to fully defined.<p>The typical 1860-S quarter eagle is well circulated, and the issue is rare above EF; <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em> estimates a total survival of 105 pieces in all grades (out of 35,600 struck), none of which are graded higher than MS-64. This PCGS-certified MS-62 is a delightful survivor and a real prize for the specialist in this challenging series. A coin that will see very spirited bidding.
