1888 Seated Liberty Quarter NGC MS68

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

Only 10,000 business strike 1888 quarters were coined, and examples are seldom seen, though they are usually frosty and lustrous when they are encountered. Most pieces are found in or near Mint State grades, although almost never like the present specimen. This is a Superb Gem with ivory color at the center of the obverse, surrounded by russet, sea-green, and gold toning. The reverse is similar, with mostly rose color at the centers, framed by teal and gold. The pattern of toning is reminiscent of pieces from old time collections.

The NGC population is only 5 with none graded higher.

Only 3 Graded Higher – 1886 Morgan Dollar NGC MS68

dyann

The 1886 is a plentiful Philadelphia Morgan dollar issue with a mintage that approaches 20 million coins. Dave Bowers describes the distribution of 1886 dollars in his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia: “Quantities of 1886 dollars were released by the Treasury over a long period of years, with a large number coming out in 1951, 1952, and, especially, December 1954.” Even more were released during the early 1960s, further contributing to the date’s availability. And this issue is widely recognized for its collectibility in high grades. That includes coins in MS66 and even MS67. However, perhaps unsurprisingly, availability is much more limited in this ultimate grade.

The NGC population is 41 (two of which have been designated “Star”), with only 3 MS68+ representatives graded higher.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1935-S Texas PCGS MS68

dyann

With 10,000 coins distributed to collectors (and eight pieces reserved for assay), the 1935-S Texas commemorative half dollar fails to distinguish itself as a rarity in the series. Indeed, examples are plentiful through most grades, including MS63 all the way up through MS67. It is at this stratospheric level, however, that the issue becomes a genuine condition rarity.

The PCGS population is just 6 with none graded higher.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1884 Seated Liberty Dime PCGS MS68

dyann

Unlike the quarters and halves, a large number of dimes were struck in 1884. In fact, more than 3.3 million pieces were produced. Despite the large mintage, surprisingly few coins were set aside in the ultimate grades. This particular example offers highly attractive ocean-blue peripheries with golden-brown and red fields. While typical mint state survivors certainly aren’t rare, at the MS68 level this date is a formidable conditional rarity,

The PCGS population is only 3 with none graded higher.

1934 Maryland Half Dollar NGC MS68

dyann

Both sides of this virtually unmarked coin host well-defined devices. The luster is strong, if slightly diffuse; silver-green patina at the central obverse yields to the mustard-gold and yellow shadings at the borders.

The NGC population is 7 (two of which are designated “Star”) with 1 graded higher.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1877 Seated Liberty Quarter NGC MS68

dyann

The 1877 Seated Liberty quarter comes from a high mintage of more than 10.9 million coins and is generally plentiful through MS65, with finer pieces being only moderately scarce through MS67. However, this MS68 color-free blazer of a coin is a condition rarity. It represents the finest grade achieved at either certification service and is one of only 13 coins this fine at NGC and PCGS combined. The NGC population is 9 with none graded higher.
