Lot 2211
1858 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Premium Quality. One of perhaps 100 struck of this date in Proof, and certainly one of the best to survive. The obverse is toned a rich gold color, with reddish hues in the right obverse field, while the reverse is toned a dark blue color. As to the surfaces, they are very clean and show no problems whatsoever. We do note several minor lint marks, including one that connects the last two stars, and Breen notes this is typical of the date on these proofs. PCGS has graded just 8 this high, with 3 coins graded higher, all PR-65. An impressive example for the specialist.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Michael Riordan collection.
