Seated Quarters
1869 25C MS64 NGC Prooflike. The 1869 quarter dollar, with a small business strike production of only 16,000 pieces, is scarce in all grades. The near-Gem in the present lot is the sole 1869 circulation strike given Prooflike status by NGC (3/17). Moreover, both sides display considerable field-motif contrast. A few trivial marks, and a couple of grease spots on the lower-left obverse portrait, are all that precludes Gem status.
