Seated Quarters
1859-O 25C MS65 PCGS. CAC. A few curious die lines are visible above STATES OF, but otherwise struck from crisp dies that show no defects. This impressive Gem is tied for the finest PCGS-certified 1859-O quarter, with only one other MS65 certified at that service. NGC has also certified one Gem, along with a trio of MS67s finer (11/16). Whether or not three Superb Gems actually exist or if resubmissions are represented in that figure is unknown, as none in that grade have ever been sold at auction. The auction price record for the issue is currently held by the present example from its sale slightly more than three years ago, where it garnered more than $25,000. This sharply defined coin has frosty silver luster that shines through the gold and violet toning. It is a plate coin on the CoinFacts webpage.
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2013), lot 4210.
