Lot Description

A visually impressive early Seated quarter, possessing the surface quality and eye appeal of an even higher grade. Rich golden tan, olive-russet, and stealy-gray silver toning is brought out when the satiny silver frost hits the light. The surfaces are very smooth and clean for being "only" MS63. PCGS 14, NGC 10, CAC 1. No CAC-approved example has ever sold in auction. The most recent non-CAC coin brought $2,580 (we think it could represent a buy back) in a weak market (July 2016). Prior to that, PCGS coins were selling for nearly $4,000 or more. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,750 and keep in mind, any finer, and the values increase dramatically. Cert. Number 80480019 PCGS # 5392
