Description

1867-S Seated Liberty Quarter, MS63
Highly Lustrous, Few Are Finer

1867-S 25C MS63 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. A faint blush of wheat-gold toning visits the obverse fields yet this coin is essentially brilliant throughout the obverse and the reverse. The reverse die shows a diagnostic die line through the lower loop of the mintmark, confirming it was used to strike the 1866-S, the 1867-S, as well as 1869-S quarters. Among those three dates, the 1867-S mintage was a moderate 48,000 pieces, but -- as is well known -- all silver coinage circulated widely on the West Coast, often to the point of attrition. Only a few high-grade 1867-S examples survive. This is a sharply defined coin, with nominal weakness on a few stars but crisp definition in all other areas. The Select Uncirculated surfaces are free of all but the most trivial marks. PCGS Population: 1 in 63, 3 finer (3/25).(Registry values: P7)
