1859 25C, CAM PR (PCGS#85555)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1859 Liberty Seated Quarter. Type II Reverse. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. An interestingly and originally toned Gem, otherwise silver-tinged surfaces reveal a crescent of bold antique-copper patina over the upper right reverse. A faint trace of similar color is also evident along the lower right obverse border. Fully struck throughout and expertly preserved in all regards, this amazing specimen ranks among the finest survivors of this scarce early Proof quarter issue. As with its identically dated half dime, dime, half dollar and silver dollar counterparts, the Proof 1859 quarter is far scarcer than a mintage of 800 pieces might imply. With many examples being released into circulation when they failed to sell to collectors, unmistakable Proof survivors are elusive. This is an exceptionally well preserved and aesthetically pleasing specimen that is far finer than most that we have handled over the years. PCGS Population: 6; 2 finer in this category (Proof-67 Cameo finest). CAC Population: 4; 0. PCGS# 85555. NGC ID: 23WL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
