Lot Description
1859 Liberty Seated Quarter. Type I Reverse. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). Here is a premium Gem quality example of this scarce early Proof in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Essentially brilliant, the bright silver surfaces allow ready appreciation of strong cameo contrast. The fields are deeply mirrored and support softly frosted design elements that also offer razor sharp striking detail. Smooth and attractive in all regards, this is a conditionally rare survivor from a mintage of 800 Proofs, only about 200 or so coins of which seem to have been distributed to contemporary collectors. PCGS Population: 6; 2 finer in this category (Proof-67 Cameo finest). PCGS# 85555. NGC ID: 23WL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
