1856-S Seated Liberty Quarter. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC PQ. In special PCGS Ship of Gold holder which contains One Pinch of Gold Dust recovered from the S.S. Central America treasure.
Special PCGS number 802039.62/38277440.
Frosty, well struck and untoned. Both sides show mint fresh satin silver luster in the fields and frosted devices. The surfaces are pleasing with minimal signs of handling and this coin basically went down with the ship perhaps mere months after being struck, never entering circulation. A frosty white example. Well struck and should be graded MS-63. As such it is a time capsule into mint production in 1856. An opportunity for the astute numismatist. Pop 1; 1 finer in 63 at PCGS for the S.S. Central America Series. Sure looks better than a MS-62. Estimated Value $8,000 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America, 2014 Recovery from Purser's Safe.


 
Realized $7,800
