Lot Description

1884 Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous olive-copper surfaces are richly and evenly toned, direct lighting revealing iridescent undertones of champagne-gold and powder blue. A fully struck, silky smooth example that would accept nothing less than a premium Gem grade. One of just 8,000 circulation strike quarters produced in 1884, and far finer than the typically encountered Mint State survivor in today's market. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. PCGS Population: 19; 14 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 5516. NGC ID: 23VG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
