1861 Seated Quarter, Gorgeous MS67
One of Few Superb Gem Survivors

1861 25C MS67 PCGS. The 1861 Seated quarter is a high-mintage issue of more than 4.8 million coins, but this piece is among the few finest survivors at PCGS. Seated quarter mintages from Philadelphia would plummet in ensuing years as the Civil War-inspired hoarding of gold and silver coins made the production of large quantities of coins futile. This piece displays lovely patina in shades of pale blue-green, rose, and pearl-gray complementing vivid, rich cartwheel luster and a strike that is close to full throughout, save for a few of the right-side obverse stars. Population: 8 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (8/15).
