Lot 734
1875 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. A knockout coin that boasts seductive blue and gold obverse toning with a central bright area on Liberty. The usual "Benson" reverse toning, bright save for a ring of dark blue and gold through most of the lettering. Near perfect surfaces, with no signs of handling or abuse of any kind. PCGS agrees, and this is one of just 3 graded this high, and none are graded higher! One of the very finest of 700 struck, and worthy of the finest collection in the land.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
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.
