Gem Uncirculated 1863 Liberty Seated Quarter Rarity 1863 Liberty Seated Quarter. Breen 1-A. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. A handsome coin that displays gently mottled olive-russet and sandy-silver patina to soft, satiny mint luster. There is modest semi-reflectivity in the fields, as well as undertones of iridescent champagne-pink, powder blue and antique gold. Fully struck with smooth surfaces, just right for the assigned Gem grade. This challenging Philadelphia Mint issue has a circulation strike mintage of just 191,600 pieces. Survivors are scarce, indicative of the fact that silver coinage did not see commercial use in the East and Midwest during the Civil War and early Reconstruction eras. Some 1863 quarters that were not melted entered circulation beginning in the mid 1870s, accounting for the occasional worn survivor in today's market. Mint State examples are even more elusive, the present Gem numbering among the finest that we have ever offered. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
