Description

1872-S 25C VF30 PCGS. The 1872-S is the rarest San Francisco Mint issue in the Seated Liberty quarter series. A total of 83,000 pieces were minted, but many were probably melted shortly after they were struck. Pale gray toning graces the devices, while the margins have a somewhat darker patina. A thin scratch on the eagle's left (facing) wing is the only mark that merits specific mention. This is the only VF30 example graded by PCGS, with just 10 pieces certified in higher grades. (7/10).
