This is an exceptionally bold and beautiful borderline SUPERB GEM Proof 1863 quarter. The technical quality is off the charts and the eye appeal is equally amazing! Regardless of designation, no example has graded numerically higher than the presently offered gorgeously preserved example. The fields are virtually without flaw, even with the aid of a strong glass, there are zero imperfections to discuss. The mirrored fields are watery with a wonderful flash from below a lovely melange of iridescent toning. The eye appeal is excellent. The devices are sharply struck with razor sharp definition. The eye appeal is excellent. Only 460 Proofs were struck. PCGS 13, NGC 12, CAC 4. There are three in PR66+ and NONE FINER. The Simpson-Big Mo Collection coin which sold in our July 2020 Regency Auction sold for $19,388. This coin is also very high end and very attractive and it would not come as a surprise if this SUPERB example brought a very strong bid also. Bound for an AMAZING set of Seated Liberty quarter Proofs or Civil War era coinage. Cert. Number 36804526 PCGS # 5559
