1861 Seated Quarter, MS67+
Tied for Finest at PCGS and CAC
An Essentially Pristine No Motto Type Coin

1861 25C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Among No Motto Seated Liberty quarters, the 1861 is relatively plentiful in Mint State, even as fine as MS65. The Simpson coin stands out for its Superb Gem classification. PCGS has awarded an MS67 grade to only eight other examples, and a Plus designation to only one other piece (6/24). This coin is thus tied for the finest at that service. The former Simpson specimen carries both the PCGS Plus and CAC green label distinctions. The central devices are sharp, and the peripheral stars are mostly brought up as well. Rich, satiny mint luster reveals no distracting abrasions, as the fields are essentially flawless. Amber peripheral toning lightens to warm golden-champagne color in the centers. Population: 9 in 67 (2 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/24).
