Losbeschreibung

1872-S Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A, the only known dies. VF-25 (NGC). A handsome VF Liberty Seated quarter whose offering in this sale represents an extremely significant bidding opportunity for collectors specializing in this challenging series. Decked in deep rose-gray patina and typically circulated for the issue, both sides retain good striking detail. The 1872-S is hands down the rarest San Francisco Mint quarter of this type, which is saying quite a lot since it has had to best issues such as the 1860-S, 1861-S and 1864-S for this honor. Survivors from a mintage of 83,000 pieces are highly elusive even in the lowest grades, and it is likely that many examples were melted when the Act of February 12, 1873 changed the weight of this denomination.
