Description
Prized 1857-S Seated Quarter, MS64
Tied for Finest at PCGS
1857-S 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. After opening in 1854, the San
Francisco Mint produced its first Seated quarters the following
year. Mintages, while on the smallish side, continued even through
the difficult Civil War era, with the sole exception of 1863. The
mintage in 1857 was typical of the era, a skimpy 82,000 coins.
Briggs notes in his Coin Dealer Newsletter update (December
2007) that Mint State examples are rare and "usually well-struck
with creamy luster." This piece is certified in an older small-size
green-label holder and offers such a bold strike, with memorable
patina. Gold, saffron, and ice-blue hues appear on both sides, with
considerable untoned silver-gray luster beneath. A couple of
reeding marks left of the date and a small scrape in the left
obverse field explain the grade but are unbothersome. Population: 3
in 64, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P7)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23TG, PCGS# 5444, GSID# 5187)
