详细说明

Richly original surfaces are toned in golden-copper on the obverse, more vivid steely-rose and cobalt blue on the reverse. Both sides are lustrous, frosty, and uncommonly well preserved. With a mintage of 4,853,600 pieces, the 1861 was produced in greater numbers than all but a few other circulation strike No Motto Liberty Seated quarter issues. It has long been a mainstay of type collections in both circulated and Mint State grades. As with all classic U.S. Mint issues, however, there comes a grade level at which condition rarity replaces absolute availability in discussing an individual coin's primary selling points. For the circulation strike 1861 quarter, that grade level is MS-66. The offered coin, therefore, is highly desirable for inclusion in a world class numismatic cabinet.
