Rare 1872-S Quarter, AU50

1872-S 25C AU50 PCGS. This San Francisco issue with a five-figure mintage was struck from a single pair of dies. Larry Briggs offered clipped comments about the date's rarity in his Liberty Seated quarters reference: "Rarest 'S' mint. Rare and very hard to locate in any condition. Most probably melted in 1873 creating a far greater demand than supply."
This is an attractive AU example of the ill-fated issue, strongly detailed with small ticks on the devices and wispy abrasions in the toned-over fields. Coffee-rose and blue-violet hues drape each side, with the colors more prominent on the reverse. A dot of deep color in the field to the left of star 12 on the obverse may serve as a future pedigree marker. Population: 2 in 50, 5 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P8)
