Superb Cameo Proof 1862 Quarter Dollar

1862 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. This is a Superb Gem Proof example of the No Motto design with fully brilliant obverse and reverse surfaces. Only about 430 Proofs were actually sold in 1862, the balance of the 550 coin mintage being melted. It is the 550 coin figure that continues to be reported in the Guide Book; however, we tend to subscribe to Breen's figures in regards to these coins. We offered a similar example in February 2004, when we stated that only two had been certified with none finer. Now that the population indicates four certified, we have to think that this or another was resubmitted a couple times. This is an extremely important opportunity to acquire a rare Proof quarter dollar from the Civil War era. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (9/04).(#85558) (Registry values: P3)
