1855 Liberty Seated Quarter. Arrows. Briggs 5-E. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC).
Extraordinary quality and eye appeal for an issue that is rarely offered at any level of preservation. A premium quality Gem, this lovely specimen boasts delicate -pinkish-silver tinting to otherwise brilliant surfaces. Sharply struck in all but a few isolated areas, the in hand appearance is of a fully defined coin. There are no blemishes of note, confirming this as one of the very finest Proofs of the date obtainable by today's collectors. While Q. David Bowers (2016) provides an estimated mintage of 20 to 30 coins for this issue, the PCGS CoinFacts estimate of just 15 to 20 pieces extant confirms the Proof 1855 quarter as similar in rarity to its half dime, dime and half dollar counterparts. We have offered precious few of these over the years, and even fewer that we can recall from recent memory that rival this Cameo Gem specimen in terms of eye appeal. Worthy of the strongest bids.
