Lot 710
1858 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. One of perhaps 100 struck in proof, and this is one of the finest although it will be overshadowed by the PR-65 also from this collection. PCGS has graded 8 this high, with just 3 graded higher. In particular, this coin has deep gray toning with darker bluish shades on the left side through the stars. One tiny lint mark up from the lower left ball of the second 8 will serve to identify this specimen, and a pair of line like defects in the field between the second star and Liberty's arm. Sharply struck throughout, and highly desirable in every way.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed on March 30, 1946 for $9.00.
