Seated Quarters
1888 25C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Briggs 1-A. While the 1888 is somewhat more available than its small 10,000-piece mintage might suggest, high-end Premium Gem coins are rare and in demand. This is an extraordinarily lustrous and frosty example, snow-white and silky smooth. Brilliant cartwheel luster radiates from the boldly struck centers, although the stars are not sharp. The top of Liberty's head and the foot lack some crispness, too, but the overwhelmingly vivid-white surfaces emanate an undeniable allure that trumps all. Population: 13 in 66+, 11 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 7 finer (11/16).
