Lot Description

1879 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-66 (PCGS). Blended pewter-gray and olive-russet patina greets the viewer from both sides of this handsome, fully original Gem. It is a smartly impressed and expertly preserved coin worthy of strong bids. Eagerly sought in both formats, the 1879 Liberty Seated quarter has a generous Proof mintage of 1,100 pieces, but a paltry circulation strike delivery of just 13,600 coins. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911. PCGS Population: 21; 3 finer in this category (Proof-67 finest).
