***Auction Highlight*** 1856-s Briggs 1-A Seated Liberty Quarter 25c Graded Unc Details By USCG. 0 The pearl gray surfaces of this Mint State rarity are adorned by a rainbow of emerald, amber and magenta iridescence on both sides. A pleasing intricacy is expressed by the central motifs, which remain well defined for the assigned grade. This color also extends to the fields where a delightfully satisfying complexion dominates. An attractive unc details example with some surface porosity to represent this low mintage rarity. The 1856-S is highly elusive in all grades, especially those above VF. It's doubtful that as many as 20 Mint State examples can be accounted for. In cases such as this, the mintage figure (286,000 coins) provides no useful guidance when trying to formulate a bid; the most important information available is population data, and the caveat here is that some individual coins may have been certified multiple times. This is certainly a rare find for the advanced collector specializing in the challenging Liberty Seated quarter series.
