Lot Description

1856 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-64 (PCGS). OGH. No official mintage figure exists for this elusive Proof issue, but it is presumed to be very low, based upon the small number of known survivors. This is a lovely specimen with razor-sharp definition on all of the denticles, as well as on Liberty's head and shield. The clean, lightly toned surfaces reveal watery fields and immaculate preservation.
