- A satiny and richly toned piece awash in a blend of pewter gray and steel-olive. Sharply struck with uncommonly strong eye appeal at the assigned grade level. This challenging Philadelphia Mint issue has a limited circulation strike mintage of 191,600 pieces. Survivors are scarce, indicative of the fact that silver coinage did not see commercial use in the Eastern and Midwestern states during the Civil War and early Reconstruction eras. Some 1863 quarters that were not melted entered domestic circulation beginning in the mid 1870s, accounting for the occasional worn survivor in today's market. Mint State examples are even more elusive, highlighting the significance of this offering for advanced Liberty Seated enthusiasts.
