- Lot Description
- 1856-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). A beautifully struck example with just the faintest softness on the highest points of the design. All major and most finer elements are fully executed. Highly lustrous and pleasantly toned rich orange gold. The devices are satiny and surface marks are few. A tiny planchet flake, as made, is noted by the A of STATES and useful for identification purposes. Slight doubling, not noted by Breen, is seen on the letters of AMERICA. A delighitful piece from the early San Francisco Mint with very few finer examples seen by PCGS.<br />
