<B>1856 25C PR64 NGC.</B></I> The mintage and survival rate of the 1856 proof quarter are unclear. Walter Breen, in his two <I>Encyclopedias</B></I> (1977 and 1988), gives no mintage figures, but estimates that fewer than 30 examples are known. Larry Briggs (1991) gives a mintage figure of "25+ proofs." NGC and PCGS have graded a total of 42 examples, an unknown number of which are likely resubmissions.<BR> The near-Gem specimen in this lot displays hints of light tan-gold color at the margins, a little more so on the reverse. A solid strike leaves crisp definition on the design features. A few unobtrusive handling marks limit the grade. The nearly imperceptible "bulge" resulting from die failure (alluded to by Breen and Briggs) extends from AM through the left (right facing) wing through the field to the arrows. Census: 8 in 64, 6 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
