1864 25C MS65 PCGS.
1864 25C MS65 PCGS. Briggs 1-A, as are most Mint State survivors of this Civil War issue. With the war in its fourth year and circulating silver still absent from most areas of the United States, the Philadelphia Mint had little reason to produce a large number of Quarters in 1864. Indeed, only 94,070 1864-P Quarters were delivered, and the vast majority of survivors grade no finer than VF. The obverse die of the Briggs 1-A marriage is easily identifiable by a pair of chips (as produced) on Liberty's thigh. There are also clashmarks (as struck) in the reverse field above and below the eagle's wings, and a few spindly peripheral cracks are seen on the obverse. Otherwise, this lovely Gem is smooth, and grade-limiting abrasions are virtually nonexistent. What's more, the luster is truly amazing, being bright and frosty with modest hints of reflectivity in the fields. The sharply struck features are overlaid in delicate, iridescent, champagne-gold shades. A coin that will improve the technical and aesthetic quality of any specialized Seated Quarter collection. Population: 12 in 65, 6 finer (10/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
