1856-S/S Seated Liberty Quarter. PCGS graded AU Details, Environmental Damage. This is still a reasonably attractive coin, with silver gray overall with a few traces of gold toning. The reverse seems to have more evidence of sea-water textured fields and patches of darker tone. A rare die variety where a much smaller S (intended for the dimes) was first engraved, then a larger S for quarters was also punched into that reverse. An important find from the S.S. Central America shipwreck of 1857 (PCGS # 5441) Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America #2.


 
Realized $2,640
