1858 Quarter, Flashy MS66
Rim-Toned With Great Luster

1858 25C MS66 PCGS. Generous luster combined with untoned silver-white centers and rim patina in shades of gold and rose produce top-notch eye appeal. The strike is sharp, but it is the luster that first grabs the viewer's attention. Two major die cracks show on the reverse. One links the tops of UN with the denticles on each side, to the two outside leaves, and back to the denticles. The other links the bases of ES OF A. With a mintage exceeding 7.3 million pieces for this issue, it is unsurprising that some dies seem not to be accounted for in Larry Briggs' now nearly 25-year-old reference. Only five obverse and five reverse dies are described. Briggs himself writes that "several other varieties exist, none seemingly rare." Population: 13 in 66 (1 in 66+), 2 finer (11/16).
