Lot 493
1838 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Lovely shades of light blue and silver toning. Popular no drapery quarter. This issue is known for average striking detail, the high points of Liberty's features and the star centers often indistinct. So they are on this coin, and we also note that the denticles are a bit soft here and there around both sides. The reverse eagle, however, is bold. Both sides are equally free of spotting and grade-limiting abrasions, while the appearance is natural gray with a sheen to the surface from the supporting luster. The eye appeal is choice. One of the most respected early silver coins and a bidding opportunity for the No Drapery collector that is probably a coin soon to be rarer still. In a new 4 pronged NGC holder. Pop 19; 32 finer.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
