FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX GARDNER By far, this is the FINEST Mint State 1862-S 25C that exists. Forget about the plastic, this coin is a stone SUPERB GEM. We consider this coin to be one of the most exciting in the entire BigMo Collection!. Virtually immaculate surfaces (to the naked eye) are just head turning. Only when using a strong glass can you find a ticks and scattered lines on the obverse. The reverse is pretty much full MS65. The surfaces have a semi satiny texture. A surprising bold luster glows from all over. Both sides are an original almond/gold/original white color. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. The eye appeal is sensational! Only 67,000 quarters were struck, and these went right into circulation on the west coast. The typical survivor, of which PCGS CoinFacts estimates 350 survive in all grades, only 25 in any Mint State grade. This coin is clearly the FINEST KNOWN as they do not show any even thought to survive in MS65 or better grade. The Dakota War of 1862 concludes with the execution of 38 Dakota Native American men by hanging in Matanko, Minnesota. The single largest mass legal execution in the history of the United States ended the conflict which began as a response to the occupation of Dakota territory by Minnesotan settlers. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. PCGS has graded this the ONLY MS64+ and single finest known 1862-S. This coin last sold in Gardner (as a regular MS64) in 2014 for $44,063. Fast forward to today, FINEST KNOWN coins like this are most in demand, and demand for the FINEST has done nothing but grow. Unpriced in the PCGS Price Guide. Be prepared. We expect strong bidding on this exceptional rarity! Cert. Number 21071674 PCGS # 5457
