Lot Description

1865 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-67 (NGC). Toned with gorgeous pale gunmetal-blue and green shades in the fields while the perimeter is more russet and gold combining to form an elegant presentation. Boldly frosted on the lettering and devices which stand tall against the mirror fields. Remarkable preservation too, with no handling issues whatsoever. One of the finest seen of this important date and type, which changed over in 1866 with the addition of the Motto on the reverse. Mintage of 500 pieces, and clearly near the top tiny percentage of those that survive.
