Lot 747
1883 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66. Speckled toning on the obverse, with a splash of lighter blue near Liberty's face and the usual darker hues around the periphery of both sides. PCGS has graded 18 this high with just 6 higher. A scarce date, only 1,039 struck in proof, and a small mintage of 14,400 for circulation as the Philadelphia Mint, and all branch mints, focused on churning out millions of Morgan silver dollars in order to comply with the various silver coinage acts of 1878.
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.
