***Auction Highlight*** 1863-p Seated Liberty Quarter 25c Graded GEM+ Unc By USCG. Tied for 2nd Finest Known. As with most Uncirculated 1863 quarters, this piece shows frosted mint luster. What is lacking are the often-seen die striations in the fields. Undoubtedly much scarcer in all grades than its mintage would indicate since large numbers were either melted or exported during The War. The brilliant surfaces are virtually abrasion-free and fully struck in all areasWhile the Civil War raged just a few hundred miles from Philadelphia, the Mother Mint still managed to turn out 191,600 quarters. Much of the mintage was hoarded as gold and silver coins quickly disappeared from circulation during the war, with hoarding the average man's hedge against inflation. The Gem population of the date is scant at best, as shown below. Indeed, this is the only MS-66 + certified by NGC, with no example of the date finer within any designation. Definitely one for the Gem-seekers among us. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
