Description

1861-S Seated Liberty Quarter, XF40
Rare, Low-Mintage Survivor

1861-S 25C XF40 PCGS. Briggs 2-B. In the Jan. 11, 2008, issue of the Coin Dealer Newsletter, Larry Briggs calls the 1861-S Seated quarter a low-mintage issue in two varieties that is "plagued by problems." The rarity of the issue escalates with grade, with XF coins rare, AU pieces very rare, and true Mint State coins unknown. This example offers powder-gray surfaces with some charcoal rim toning, and shows the late die state of the reverse with the mintmark about to connect to the fletchings. A still-lustrous piece with some mint-green accents on the lower reverse. Population: 4 in 40, 11 finer (8/10).(Registry values: P7)
