Description

1857-S Quarter, MS64
Ex: Eliasberg, Gardner

1857-S 25C MS64 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. Ex: Eliasberg. Identified by the mintmark placement. The 1857-S Seated quarter boasts a low mintage of only 82,000 pieces and is proportionately elusive in all grades. The collector seeking a Mint State example, however, will have to wait a long time for the chance to bid on one; Only 17 have been certified in all grades, and some are possibly just resubmissions. Virtually brilliant with a light dusting of pale gold, this semiprooflike near-Gem is extremely sharp and well-preserved. A small dark spot in the right obverse field is noted. Population: 4 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (6/17).
