$1800 		Scarce San Francisco Date, Steely-Frosted Luster, Yellow Green-Gold, Wonderful Presentation. 1871 San Francisco struck quarter eagles sport a mintage of 22,000. The issue is scarce but available. This newly consigned example resides in a certified AU58 holder and offers brilliant steely-frosted luster under a bright light. The yellow-gold coloration is typical of the issue., The overall strike is strong but still exhibiting weakness at the upper curls and the lower left eagle leg with partial feathers consistent with that seen on the CoinFacts plate coins (MS65+). A few scattered field ticks are noted but part of the overall charm. The CAC census is presently 29 approved examples with four finer. Housed in NGC 17 (2004-2008) holder with CAC approval. December 1969
