1863 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. One of the finest graded of this date, PCGS has given only 7 coins this grade, and none have been graded higher. Superb color and surfaces on the obverse, with deep blue and gold on the right side, fading to bright white at the center towards Liberty's shield. The reverse brighter, with light toning at the edge. One of the more colorful of these early proofs offered in the Benson collection. Perfectly struck and free of contact aside from a few stray hairlines.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed on August 17, 1944 as part of a set of Proof quarters from 1858 to 1915 for $235.00.
