Description
1860-S Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS).
An uncommonly well preserved and attractive example of this extremely challenging early S-Mint silver issue. Warm pewter and mauve-gray patina blankets surfaces that are boldly defined overall with an impressively smooth appearance in hand. Produced to the extent of just 56,000 pieces and suffering a grievous rate of attrition through circulation, the 1860-S is a highly elusive Liberty Seated quarter even in the lowest circulated grades. Extremely Fine survivors, as here, merit an impressive Rarity-6+ rating from Larry Briggs in the 1991 reference The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters. With Mint State survivors all but unknown, this coin represents a significant and fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced collector specializing in this extremely challenging Liberty Seated series.
PCGS# 5453. NGC ID: 23TS.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage' Philadelphia ANA Signature Auction of August 2018, lot 3505.
