Lot Description

1883 Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Wonderfully original surfaces are dressed in a bold array of vivid rose-apricot and cobalt blue toning. Satiny luster is full, smooth, and provides captivating cartwheel visual effects as the coin rotates under a light. The strike is hammered with razor sharp detail throughout the design. The 1883 is part of a consecutive run of low mintage circulation strike quarters produced in the Philadelphia Mint from 1879 through 1890. A mere 14,400 pieces were produced in this format, and survivors such as this are far scarcer than similarly graded Proofs of the era. PCGS Population: 17; 4 finer in this category (MS-67 finest). CAC Population: 9; 2. PCGS# 5515. NGC ID: 23VF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
