1861 Seated Liberty Quarter, PR66
None Finer at PCGS, Gorgeous Patina

1861 25C PR66 PCGS. Briggs 7-E. Type Two Reverse. More than 60% of the 1,000 proof quarters struck in 1861 were melted as unsold at the close of the year. A recently introduced 13 cent proofing fee reduced demand considerably from the levels reached in 1858 and 1859. This is a truly impressive Premium Gem example with inarguably original surfaces. Each side is richly toned in blue, rose-violet, and peach-gold patina and devoid of major contact marks. The razor-sharp strike, squared-off rims, and flashy fields confirm the proof origin of this lovely Seated Liberty quarter. Population: 6 in 66, 0 finer (2/17).(Registry values: P4)
