Losbeschreibung

1856 Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. A lovely blend of gold, purple, and olive-green graces this expertly preserved example with crisply struck devices over immensely satisfying near abrasion-free surfaces. Although a fairly large number of these quarters were struck in 1856, amounting to over 7 million pieces, not many were saved that today merit the Gem level of preservation. The mintage was large in order to replace the heavier silver old tenor coinage that had largely been melted by this time (coins struck under the old standard weight that was changed in early 1853). Furthermore, in 1856 the mints returned to the prior style last seen in the first weeks of 1853 as the Arrows were removed from the left and right of the date, and coinage continued in this fashion for the next decade. PCGS Population: 13; 13 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 5438. NGC ID: 23TB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
