1864 25C PR (PCGS#5560)

The Regency Auction XIV October 2015

详细说明: Deep blue watery reflectivity and magnificently toned with rich cobalt and ocean blue mixed with crimson traces. The toning envelops the entire surface and is wonderfully original and pleasing. Boldly struck on all the devices and one of the most attractive coins imaginable, and furthermore one of the finest to exist! An incredible opportunity for the specialist who demands quality and rarity. Of the primary collection of Proof Liberty Seated Quarters from 1859 through 1891, two dates are noteworthy for having the lowest mintages; they are 1863 (460 pieces) and 1864 (470 pieces). These were struck during the desperate depths of the Civil War, when the outcome was far from certain. Mint sales of proofs were slow, and handling of these delicate coins that did sell to collectors was obviously far from gentle. Hence superb coins like this are extremely rare today. This example is tied with one other as the finest seen by PCGS. One truly amazing coin is noteworthy of this date, that is the NGC PR68+ that was purchased for $141,000.00 (11/13) but when compared, this splendid PR67 is close in quality and should strongly be considered if a high-end proof collection is being pursued. PCGS 2, NGC 2. This coin last brought $11,750.00 (7/14) which seems very cheap! This is a true opportunity for the astute numismatist! Good luck! L | This coin is being sold with no reserve.
