1893 Isabella Quarter. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. This gleaming coin was a highlight of our October 1992 sale of coins from the Floyd T. Starr collection, where it was described as ''Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. A wholly Prooflike 'First Strike.' The coin really does resemble a Proof, but the edges are slightly rounded and all of the devices are not fully struck up. A beauty nevertheless, which will no doubt fetch a record bid.'' This glittering, deeply gold-toned example remains as spectacular today as it was in the Starr sale, and has been more generously graded by one of the major services, NGC 1893 STARR 25¢, ISABELLA MS64PL.
