***Auction Highlight*** 1879-p Briggs 1-A Seated Liberty Quarter 25c Graded ms65+ By SEGS. Up for Auction is a Superb 1879-p Seated Quarter Briggs 1-A. Only one die pairing is known for the circulation-strike 1879 Seated Liberty quarter, which boasts a low mintage of 13,600 pieces. However, the proof issue, struck to the tune of 1,100 coins, is known from two die pairs. This Superb Gem Plus business strike is conditionally rare and incredibly vibrant. Both sides are lightly toned, and the fully proof like fields are seemingly pristine. The border stars show no softness. When first examining the coin, I really did think it was a proof, but upon close inspection the Die markers are that of the Briggs 1-A, the Business Strike. An exceptional Coin, Tied for 10th finest.
