AU55 1-A. From the Heritage 2008 June West Palm Beach Florida (Summer FUN) Signatures auction #1110. Warm gold-orange hews grace the fields of this Choice AU coin.

MS 62 1-A. Doubled Die Reverse showing the doubling around the 'D' of UNITED and 'STATES OF AME'. This strong specimen has original olive-gold-rose that is evenly struck and free from noticeable marks with a hint of cabinet friction. Ex. 2010 April-May Milwaukee, WI CSNS US Coin Auction #1139, 2007 September Long Beach, CA Signature Coin Auction #446 (Beau Clerc Collection), 2007 (FUN) Signature Coin.

MS62 1-A. Deep creamy gray and smoldering purple ash toning envelops this intricately struck low mintage quarter. Mildly proof-like with a few trivial contact on the upper reverse field. Very close to being a condition rarity. There are 5 coins graded 62, 3 in 63 and 3 in 64. How many of these are re-submissions? A somewhat dark coin that has proof-like surfaces underneath its tone. The reverse is amazing and would grade GEM IMO. Ex. Heritage February Long Beach, CA Signature US Coin Auction Feb. 2010.

VF35, 1-A. Very scarce to rare variety with bisecting reverse cracks. Nice color with minimal marks.

AU55 1-A. Ample luster on a sparkling golden beige obverse with hints of aqua on the reverse rim. A beautiful coin that crossed from ANACS 55 small holder. Some trivial marks limit the grade.

VF35 3-C FS-301. Crusty mid-grade example that has a good look don't you think? Coin is lighter in hand than photo. Reverse is full XF.
A near mint state speciman purchased raw on Ebay. There are a few light wispy lines accross the obverse flats but not enough to deter PCGS of it's originality because of the ample luster the surfaces present combined with a UNC look in hand that this coin possesses. Tons of luster and faintly gold-toned with no marks to speak of. Makes you wonder how it was stored for 160-some years; carefully to say the least. A great example of this scarce and under-rated date.

AU50 1-C (unlisted). Obverse die crack from cap through index finger to breast. Nice coin with some obverse tone. Scarce mint mark position.

XF45 CAC, triple date variety (Triple punched one and doubled eight). Coin in hand is awesome! A great strike. Nice original tone and a superior look with splashes of aqua-gold throughout. Reverse has a glowing rose hue with nice luster not shown in the photo.

XF40 1-A. Coin was formerly an ANACS 45. The tone is a little blotchy on the obverse but it does have a fairly strong lower obverse rim; somewhat uncharacteristic. Some original luster remains in the recesses of the eagle's feathers.

MS61 and nice. This is the Richmond coin that sold in 2005. Formerly an NGC 61 crossing in grade. A coin with great eye appeal and decent toning; better than most. A tough catch in MS and this coin is true MS; sans a few obverse marks that I feel limited the grade.
XF45 CAC, crusty original tough date. Many not saved during later melts since silver was worth more than the face value.

I think this coin is strong for the grade but some annoying chatter in the right obverse field coupled with grungy organics kept it out of a 45 holder. Interesting retained CUD on the reverse between 5 and 6 o'clock that is not listed in the Briggs book; although with a reported mintage of 12 million there are bound to be many undiscovered varieties.

2c. A dusky mauve-gray piece with sharp details and subdued remaining luster. The surfaces are surprisingly clean. The only S-mint No Motto Arrows issue, and very scarce in better circulated grades. Very original looking with a lot of luster hidden under toning and dirt. Full right star centrils indicate a strong strike. First year for a quarter at the San Francisco mint. Ex. 2006 July Dallas, TX Coin Signature Auction #407, 2002 April Columbus, OH (CSNS) Signature Sale Auction #288.

Super deep sea-green toning doesn't show well in the photo's. The strike on the obverse has the typical weak head and top stars for this year. Conservatively graded for sure.

2-C (virtually imbedded mintmark),. Enjoyable dusty rose grey color that's not too dark. With a reported mintage of 82,000, the coin appears to be more readily available than the 56-s or 58-s. Maybe it's a sleeper date more in line with the 59-s.

A beautiful double-sided toner with luster remaining in the devices. Per Ron Guth..."The 1859-O Quarter Dollar is a semi-scarce issue with the lowest mintage of the 1853-1860 era. In fact, after the 1849-O, the 1851-O, and the 1852-O, this date has the lowest mintage of any O-Mint Seated Liberty Quarter Dollar."
Type II/Type I. Solid for the grade and a pretty good value for the price when you consider that it has the lowest MS population of any Philly date from 1853 Rays & Arrows through 1864 - a span of 12 years! An under-rated date in MS. CAC approved.

Aqua blue prooflike surfaces with a dusty mauve rose highlights on the obverse features. Reverse is incredible with a cameo look. Beautiful coin. CAC

Very attractive, crusty coin with an unusual '6'; maybe PMD? Nice surfaces with fairly clean fields. Nice even color and protected/crusty luster next to the devices.
Great olive gold color with minimal wear for the grade. Reverse has strong cartwheel luster peeking through the toning. Old cert. possible upgrade on re-grade.
Colorful mid-grade beauty. Scarce Civil War era mintage. Nice coin, with few marks on the obverse limiting grade, reverse full AU and nice.

Briggs 1-A, the only known dies. A very original coin with attractive mauve toning that blankets each side of this Choice VF quarter. An appealing example of this desirable, scarce issue, without any noticeable marks or problems on either side and traces of original mint luster tucked near many devices. Ex. 2009 February Long Beach Signature cale #1122.

1-A. Only one die pair known; same reverse die as 1866-s with a large die cut throught the lower loop of the mintmark. A very original mid-grade example of a top 5 (rarity) 's' mint trailing only the 59, 60, 61 and 72. CAC approved. No auction history.

GFRC photo credit. Nice crusty CAC midgrade choice example. Formally in a non-cac VF35 holder. CAC population a mere 15 coins.
Open 3. Not available above VF. While it's mintage is 4x the closed variety, most of these 172k were melted at the mint too; I suspect. Just try and find one North of VF and problem fee! I feel this coin is a sleeper compared to the other Type 5 w/ Motto issues and is definately the most affordable XF example.

Great original mid-grade piece that is tough to find choice. Luster present around stars. Good strike.
Obverse 4-D. The mintmarks small C's look like O's. Very original with total mint frost and aqua gold/copper toning. Exceptional eye appeal. CAC approved.

At first glance this coin looks like a proof with wonderful album toning coupled with mirrored fields.
