Seated Quarters
1857-S 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 1-B. This low-mintage issue is very rare in Mint State, according to Briggs. This near-Gem 1857-S quarter displays frosted mint luster through several layers of toning on each side in shades of gray, pale blue, and rose. A few small marks in the fields and on Liberty account for the grade, but this is a marvelous and conditionally elusive piece, with a sharp strike throughout both sides. Population: 4 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 64, 0 finer (11/16).
