Just One Graded Finer by PCGS
1883 Liberty Seated Quarter. Proof-68 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
The present coin is a thoroughly magnificent example of this scarce issue, with brilliant reflective fields and exceptionally frosty devices. The strike is impeccable on both sides, with sharp cameo contrast between the field and richly frosted devices. The surfaces are nearly pristine and offer outstanding eye appeal. A great prize for the Seated Liberty Seated specialist with additional approval by CAC.
An eagerly sought date in the Motto Liberty Seated quarter series, the 1883 has a total mintage of only 15,439 pieces. Resources at the time were focused on Morgan dollar production, and thus all minor silver coinage took a back seat. Fortunately, the Mint produced enough Proofs to satisfy collector demand and minted 1,039 examples in that format. Even so, in the very finest of grades, as here, this issue is certainly rare, and but a single example is rated higher in this category by PCGS (Proof-68+). The finest of the issue we have handled, and a coin that will attract strong bids from all directions.
Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection.
PCGS Population: 4; 1 finer (MS-68+) in this category.
PCGS# 85584. NGC ID: 23XF.
