Lot Description

1863 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-63 Cameo (PCGS). This is a delightful Select Proof quarter with an essentially brilliant appearance and deeply mirrored fields. Considerable cameo contrast results from frosted devices, and both the obverse and reverse are fully struck. In his Proof Encyclopedia, Walter Breen described three different minor die varieties of Proof quarters for this date, with a total mintage of just 460 coins. This example is the second variety described with a very faint die line from the border to left top of final S, among other characteristics. PCGS# 85559. Provenance: From the Argo Collection.
