1874 25C BG-876 US MS65 Cal Fractional gold value and info requested.

Need some info for a customer of mine, he just got the above coin graded out and really has no idea of value or how scarce of an item this is, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One word of caution; do not get enamored by the latest hoopla over the proof-like designation.

    Makes the pop count look rarer since most Cal fractionals have not been graded out that way before.
