- 1877-S/S Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 4-D, FS-501. S/Horizontal S. MS-65 (PCGS). A deeply toned and original example boasting a patina of peach and olive hues. This patina erupts with gold and powder blue iridescence beneath a light source, revealing the significant satiny luster of the underlying surfaces. Well struck and among the finest known of the variety. Just 2 coins are certified finer by PCGS. The oddity here is the blundered mintmark, with the S punched in sideways, then corrected, with evidence clearly visible to the left of the primary mintmark. This variety was discovered prior to World War One by famed Oshkosh, Wisconsin, collector H.O. Granberg. Long considered quite rare, more have been found by legions of Liberty Seated collectors in recent generations, but this is still certainly scarce in comparison to the regular "S" coins. A connoisseur's delight and a formidable condition rarity. PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5507. NGC ID: 23V7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
