Description
1877 Quarter, PR68+★ Cameo
Ex: Newman-Gardner
Sole Finest Graded
1877 25C PR68+★ Cameo NGC. Briggs 1-B. Ex: Newman. Type Two
Reverse. The 1877 Seated quarter business strikes were made in
prodigious numbers, nearly 11 million coins, but many remained in
Treasury vaults and likely were melted to strike the Morgan silver
dollars introduced the following year. The proof 1877 quarters were
made in the modest amount of 880 pieces. Today many of those proofs
are impaired, and some prooflike business strikes are confused with
proofs. An incredible prize for color enthusiasts, as well as those
who simply treasure nicely preserved coins. The reverse shows a
generous amount of silver remaining in the center with
purplish-blue patina near the rims; the obverse features an
amber-gold center with a dollop of rose on Liberty's bosom. A
splendid, fully struck proof coin with fantastic eye appeal.Ex: Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III (Heritage, 5/2015), lot 98389.(Registry values: P2)
