Gem 1870 Seated Liberty Quarter
Rare Date in Mint State

1870 25C MS65 NGC. Only 86,400 Seated Liberty quarters were coined at the Philadelphia Mint in 1870, making the date scarce in all grades. Larry Briggs believes the 1870 is an R.6 coin in Mint State. The present coin exhibits thick mint luster and semiprooflike fields. The surfaces are untoned and sharply struck throughout. A couple of minor marks show in the right obverse field, but the luster overpowers their significance. Census: 2 in 65, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P3)
