- Nicely Toned Near-Gem Proof 1846 Liberty Seated Quarter
1846 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-64 (PCGS).
This is an extremely rare issue in any grade, with perhaps eight to 10 pieces known in Proof, with this piece tied with a few others as the finest seen by PCGS. Rich gunmetal-blue and russet toning spans the entire obverse and reverse, with deeper blue around the rims in a most handsome fashion. The strike is full and complete while the surfaces are a delight. There is a high degree of reflectivity in the fields. The diagnostic faint die line is present up from the left wing of the eagle, just missing his beak tip into the field above, seen on the few other Proofs from this reverse die. A prized rarity, this quarter is worthy of the most advanced collection.
Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers
Pre-1858 silver Proofs are fascinating to contemplate and even nicer to own. The present 1846 is a real prize.
PCGS# 5540.
PCGS Population: 10; none finer.
