Description
1861-S Quarter Dollar, MS62
Sole Example in Mint State
1861-S 25C MS62 NGC. Briggs 1-A. A heavy vertical die line
appears in the horizontal obverse shield lines on this variety. The
1861-S Seated Liberty quarter comes from a limited mintage of
96,000 pieces, most of which have not survived in any grade
approaching Mint State. Even as recently as several months ago, no
Mint State pieces were known. Today, that reality has changed.
While PCGS reports no Mint State submissions, and NGC lists this
lone MS62 coin in Mint State -- a coin not previously recorded as
Mint State in the censuses. Thus, this is the sole finest 1861-S
quarter by multiple grade points. Areas of deep-blue, tan, and
battleship-gray toning dominate the right obverse field and accent
the obverse border, with a similar toning pattern on the reverse.
Lilac-silver patina fills the gaps between the sporadic deep-gray
toning. This San Francisco date is missing from many advanced
collections. NGC Census: 1 in 62, 0 finer (10/25).(Registry values: P7)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23TU, PCGS# 5455, Greysheet# 5194)
