Description
1860 Quarter Dollar, PR68★
Impeccable Preservation
Ex: Newman-Gardner
1860 25C PR68★ NGC. Briggs 9-H. Ex: Newman. The older (Type
Two) reverse hub, with the eagle's concave eye, was used to create
this proof die. The Type Two reverse, with a convex eye, first
appeared in 1859, although the Type One hub continued to be used
for some reverse dies until 1861. The pairings of Type One and Two
reverse hubs with various obverses have not been thoroughly studied
and remains fertile ground for the specialist. The reported mintage
of 1860 Seated quarters was 1,000 pieces, but Briggs notes that 458
were melted. Some of the business strike dies and the proof dies
known for this issue produced curiously soft strikes on the star
centers, as is the case here, but otherwise the surfaces are
impeccable in every way, as expected from the remarkable grade.The obverse of this Superb Gem Star-designated 1860 Seated quarter shows a light purple center ceding to aqua and charcoal moving toward the rims, while the reverse displays more-modest pinkish-silver hues in the center with amber encircling the rims. Generous mint luster and an absence of even the smallest signs of contact make this a remarkable example of the issue.
