Description

1859-S Seated Liberty Quarter, VF25
Very Scarce, Low Mintage Date

1859-S 25C VF25 PCGS. Briggs 1-A, the only known dies for the date. Only 80,000 Seated Liberty quarters were struck in 1859 at the San Francisco Mint. Few examples were saved by numismatists, as collecting branch mint issues systematically did not become popular until decades later. The issue is very scarce in all grades today and rare above VF. The present coin is an attractive collectible example, with moderate, even wear over all surfaces and no serious distractions. Population: 3 in 25, 19 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P8)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23TN, PCGS# 5450, GSID# 5191)

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 6.22 grams
