1864-S 25C MS63 NGC
<B>1864-S 25C MS63 NGC.</B></I> Ex: Richmond Collection. This issue, mintage 20,000 pieces, experienced heavy circulation in Civil War-era California. Between low production and high attrition, Mint State representatives are particularly elusive and highly prized. Larry Briggs, in his <I>The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters</B></I>, writes that the 1864-S is a "rare date," noting that the vast majority of survivors " ... are low grade coins - about good to very good; XF and better are extremely rare."<BR> This undeniably appealing Select coin has soft, swirling luster beneath delicate patina. Cream and silver-white combine with hints of rose and blue. Well-defined overall, if a touch soft on the right obverse stars, with few overt flaws and marvelous eye appeal. Census: 1 in 63, 6 finer (2/08).<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>)
