- 1850 Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A. Misplaced Date. MS-64 (NGC). Well struck with bold satiny luster and blended toning variations that become dramatic on the reverse, where hues of sunset-orange, purple-red, crimson and gold are featured. A sharply struck near-Gem with smooth, carefully preserved surfaces. Just 190,800 circulation strike 1850 quarters were produced and many were likely melted for their precious metal content, explaining the scarcity of this issue in all but the lowest circulated grades. Mint State survivors such as this are rare and represent important bidding opportunities for specialists on the few occasions when an example appears at auction. Briggs 1-A is one of the more dramatic Misplaced Date varieties in the Liberty Seated quarter series, a loupe revealing the base of an errant 1 over the rim below the left foot of the primary digit 1 in the date. In today's world of American numismatics the study and collecting of interesting die varieties is at an unprecedented high level of interest. For Liberty Seated coins the Liberty Seated Collectors Club provides a focal point for the exchange of information. NGC Census: 6; 4 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 5415. NGC ID: 23T4.
