***Auction Highlight*** 1856-s /s FS-501 Briggs 4-E Seated Liberty Quarter 25c Graded XF details By SEGS. Up for Auction is one of the ultimate Seated Liberty Varieties, the Legendary 1856-s/s, Briggs 4-E. A highly desirable over mintmark, one of the most important mintmark varieties not only in the quarter series, but also among all Seated Liberty coinage. The Small S beneath the Large S is obvious and dramatic. Currently, PCGS has identified just one example in XF45 and none are finer. SEGS has identified 4 with this being the finest and NGC has 1 example at au58, no service has ever certified an example in Unc. The present coin is a bit weakly struck on the obverse, but a solid xf45 on the reverse, netting us an xf40 details grade. Nearly 25 years ago, Larry Briggs recognized the variety as rare overall and unknown in Mint State. PCGS price guide lists xf40 at $7500. There have only been 13 auction appearances in 20 years of this ultra rarity. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away Coin
