Pricing Comments:Liberty Seated quarters are probably the most under valued seated coinage denomination. The full date and mintmark set is extremely difficult to complete due to length and individual date rarities. Weak strikes are also an ongoing issue for many dates including weak head and breast details and incomplete definition of reverse feathers. You will find competitive retail asking prices for nice original and problem free coins. Quarters with small issues will be discounted accordingly.

Rotated Reverses:Reverse images are best effort to capture the actual reverse rotation with respect to obverse position. If a rotated reverse is seen in the images, then this is how the quarter appeared during photography and the descriptions may not include specific comments as to the observation.

A historical artifact and lovely surviving example from the New Orleans Bank Find during 1982. The story goes that the discovery of several boxes of 1840-O and 1841-O Seated Liberty quarters and other U.S. and Spanish issues occurred when a construction bulldozer unearthed these. People reportedly lost their dignity as they jumped into the hole to secure a piece of the treasure. Prior to this point, 1840-O and 1841-O Seated quarters were considered rare. The offered example is a no question New Orleans hoard piece with characteristic surfaces and strike. The piece has toned nicely with even iridescent gold on the obverse and a combination of gold and blues hues on the reverse. Strike is uneven with weak gown line and mid section on the obverse and eagle legs/claws on the reverse. But then the balance of the coin has deeply impressed details. Overall, the appearance is of a higher grade as there is little wear. The assigned AU50 grade is a fair net for being a New Orleans hoard example.

Liberty Seated quarter collectors well understand how difficult the 1842 Philadelphia date is in original AU or better. Mintage is only 88,000 pieces. Few examples are known with the PCGS population report indicating (6) in AU55, (3) in AU58 and (5) in MS62. That is it after 30 years of PCGS grading. Reviewing CoinFacts and HA records indicates that some of the AU55/58 examples don't have much eye appeal. A Denver ANA show purchase with surfaces that are lightly mirrored and offer ample residual luster. Faint gold patina is surrounds the obverse stars while the reverse exhibits deep gray within the legend lettering. Strike is superb with all stars having connected centrils while Liberty's hair curls are deeply impressed. The same is seen on the reverse with crisply defined eagle feathers and claws. This is no strike weakness whatsoever. In terms of blemishes, there is nothing to mention either. Die lines are seen from stars 3 through 5 to the rim and validate the Briggs 1-A attribution.

	1843	VF35	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$145	Original, Thick Gray Patina, Scarce. Locating 1843 quarters with thick original gray patina will be much more challenging than expected. Mintage is only 645,000 and well below its New Orleans counterpart at nearly 1,000,000 struck. However, the price guides give the advantage to 1843-O examples while Philadelphia pieces remain underrated. Offer here is a lovely example that is about as original as could be expected. Dies are in an early die state with no cracks. The obverse has a few well toned over blemishes but none distracting.

That gray patina is quite transparent and adding a light source brings on the fun.

	1846	VF30	PCGS 81757168		Original	$165	Crusty Original Gray, Accurate Grading, Low Population. The low populations of Liberty Seated quarters never ceases to amaze me when writing descriptions. If Seated quarters were collected at the same interest level as Seated dimes and halves, prices would immediate jump up in a significant way. Case in point is this strictly original 1846 example graded PCGS VF30. PCGS population report indicates only 22 in all VF grades and only 26 in EF40 and EF45 grades. Consider this with respect to a mintage of 510,000. This example is so crusty original with thick gray patina. Strike is uniform and the PCGS grading is accurate.

Definitely Briggs obverse 2 with repunching under the horizontal segment of 4 digit and extra ball of 6 digit between final ball and upper loop of that digit. Reverse has no die cracks therefore unable to attribute. Freshly graded and housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. Another nice Seated quarter duplicate from the Mountain View Collection.
	1847	AU Details			Cleaned	HOLD $160	Cracked Reverse, Reflective Surfaces, Well Struck, Old Clean. A fully strike 1847 Philadelphia example with no question AU details.

Saw Mill Run Collection, Triple punched 1 digit. It is always fun to have old friends returning to the GFRC office for another sales visit.

This 1848 Seated quarter is accurately graded and strictly original. Frosty devices and satiny fields are immediately evident when viewed. Strike is complete with bold main devices. This piece is accurately graded against strict standards as there is minimal but evident wear. There is one faint toned over obverse line from foot to star 13 that holds back a Choice quality rating otherwise the eye appeal is sufficient for a higher quality assignment. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder. A special offering from the Kansas Collection.
	1848	VF35	PCGS 30807998	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$450	Choice Original, Even Gray/Rose Toning, Conservative Grading. A strictly original example of Briggs 2-B with obvious triple punching on the 1 digit and repunching below the final 8 digit. From a wear perspective, I believe this piece is all of EF40 but the reverse strike has some weakness on traditional wear points; the lower right wing, left leg and arrow feathers. When examing the the eagles claws, I see limited wear and EF grade features. Toning is an even gray with intermixed rose. Under bright light, the surfaces turn an attractive light gun metal blue. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder and ready for a new home in a circulated date/mintmark set. The light reverse area between 11:00 and 12:00 on image is PCGS holder lighting reflections and not on the coin.
	1849	F15	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$115	Compass Point Reverse. This date is difficult to locate in lower circulated grades with a mintage of only 340,000.

Overall an acceptable example for date and mintmark set.
	1850-O	VG8	raw	Briggs 1-B	Original	$140	Crusty Original, Gun Metal Gray/Blue, Honest Wear. Crusty original patina covers this piece with contrasting darker fields and lighter devices. In hand, the toning is more of an even gray but under bright light blue hues are obvious to the eye. There is just honest wear with no blemishes to note. My images are a tad too dark and the white haze on and above Liberty left shoulder is haze on the PCGS holder. Housed in 2015 PCGS holder with thicker edges.
	1850-O	VG10	PCGS 18310494	Briggs 1-B	Original	$155	Original Light Gray, Blemish Free, Accurately Graded. Just honest wear with all letters in LIBERTY visible. Strong rims and residual details. Accurately graded and residing in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.
	1851	FR02	PCGS 32237649		Original	$115	Low Ball Set! Original Gray, Very Scarce in Any Grade. 1851 Philadelphia strikes are challening to locate at all grades levels. Offered here is one of the two 1851 examples graded FR 2; there is only (1) graded AG 3 followed by (1) in Good 6. Much honest wear with original gray surfaces and no distracting marks. Housed in new 2015 PCGS holder.
	1851-O	VG10	PCGS 28553692		Choice	$825	Choice Original, Attractive Gray/Rose Patina, Accurately Graded. A difficult New Orleans date that is know for less than stellar strikes. The challenge with collecting circulated Liberty Seated quarters is locating choice examples especially when the denomination saw heavy circulation in the deep South. Ths specimen has to be one of the finest available at the VG grade level. Surfaces are perfectly original with just honest wear and a thick layer of gray/rose patina. There are no blemishes whatsoever. Grading is accurate with strong five and half letters in LIBERTY showing along with bold rims on both obverse and reverse. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. CAC approval is warranted for the originality and superior eye appeal.
	1851-O	VF20	raw		Choice	HOLD $900	New August 15! Choice Original, Medium Gray Patina, Well Struck for Date, Fairly Graded, West Texas Collection. Clearly a better date in the Liberty Seated quarter series with small mintage of 88,000. Most survivial examples are found with weak strikes and surface issues. Along comes this choice example from the West Texas Collection in raw condition since the individual is an old time collector and not active with the grading services. This 1851 New Orleans is fully choice with natural medium gray patina and no blemishes whatsoever. Strike is rather strong for the issue with the right facing wing having some weakness but the claws and arrow feather nicely defined. I've assigned a fair grade of VF20 and priced accordingly. If looking for a strong example of the 1851-O date for a Dansco and Whitman album, then this is your coin. If planning to send to TPG for grading, then this will not be an issue as a Choice quality rating is assigned. A quality offering from the West Texas Collection.
	1852-O	VG10	PCGS 32200047	Briggs 1_A	Original	$625	New July 18! Reflective Gold Toned Surfaces, Challenging New Orleans Date, Obverse Marks, Mountain View Collection. 1852 New Orleans examples are nearly always seen with weak obverse strikes and problematic surfaces. The small mintage of 96,000 entered circulation or was melted for being the heavier silver weight prior to silver weight reduction in 1853.

	1853 A&R	EF40	PCGS 10934973		Original	$160	Crusty Original Gray, West Coast Collection. Images well capture the crusty gray surfaces that are strictly original. Another silver coin that is so typical of the West Coast Collection; nearly all consigned pieces have the same thick original gray patina. Surfaces has a few toned over blemishes that are not worth mentioning. Housed in old PCGS holder with blue label and standard ring insert.
	1853 A&R	AU50	raw		Choice	$275	Choice Original, Light Gray Patina, Textured Luster, Accurately Graded, Perfect Type Coin. A wonderfully original 1853 Arrows & Rays type coin with semi transparent gray-gold patina. This piece offers a complete strike with connected star centrils, full hair curls and deeply impressed eagle feathers and claws. Under bright light, this piece shifts to a uniform light gold coloring. A quality offering for a Dansco or Whitman album type set.
	1853/4 A&R	VF25	NGC 3606000001	Top 25: #12	Choice	$295	1853/4 Overdate, Original Medium Gray. A popular Seated quarter variety that has been recognized and listed in the Redbook for years. The extra arrow stem is clearly visible above final stem and validates the 1853/4 variety. Obverse has rose/gray fields and medium gray at the stars while the reverse is toned an even medium gray throughout. Housed in new NGC holder.
	1853-O A&R	VG10	raw	Top 25: #13 Briggs 3-E	Cleaned	$115	Filled Mintmark Reverse, Cleaned Obverse. A late die state example with maximum amount of mintmark deterioration. The obverse has been cleaned while the reverse retains its natural dark gray toning in the areas surrounding legend and denomination. The reverse condition is exactly as listed Briggs in his Encyclopedia. The bottom horizontal lines in the shield along with lower eagle details and arrows feathers are poorly struck with the legend indicating heavy recutting during the working die preparation process. Accurately graded; this piece is still a reasonable example as a filler until a higher grade example can be located.
	1853-O A&R	VF30	PCGS 31470840	Briggs 1-B	Original	$175	Original Light Gray. Surfaces are toned ovwr with even base light gray patina along with darker shades on the reverse. Strike is typical for 1853 New Orleans date. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder.

The 1853 Philly With Arrows and Rays date may be common but the New Orleans counterpart is much scarcer and challenging to locate choice. Weak strikes are all an issue. This example offers brown/gold obverse coloring while the reverse is covered with thick gun metal gray patina. There are no blemishes to discuss. CAC approval is warranted due to the strict originality and decent eye appeal for an 1853-O quarter.
	1854 With Arrows	EF45	raw		Original	$65	Original Patina, Faint Grafitti In Right Field. A strictly original Seated quarter with natural medium gray patina and bold strike. Unfortunately, there is well toned over grafitti in the right field that can be seen on the images. In hand, this piece looks choice. Priced accordingly.
	1854 With Arrows	AU53	PCGS 18528984		Original	New Price $325	Near Choice Original, Golden Brown Patina, Accurately Grade, Dallas Collection. Another special offering from the Dallas Collection with thick obverse golden brown surfaces. This is a strictly original AU example that would be nice candidate for type set. It should be noted that there is an obverse blemish under the left arrow in the spirit of complete disclosure. This mark did not bother PCGS or CAC as the grading is fair and accurate. Housed in older PCGS with blue label and standard insert.
	1854	AU50	raw		Original	$85	Original Luster, Probably Old Dip, Attractive Example, West Texas Collection. Decent residual luster on this 1854 With Arrows example.

Die erosion around the date digits is severe with a broken right arrow typical of a very late die state. Surfaces are covered with gun metal gray patina and two blemishes to note for 100% disclosure. There is one chatter mark in the left obverse field by star 3 and some impact on the lower left facing forearm along with an ancient rim bruise by star 6. A raw specimen that is fairly graded at the VF30 level. An important Top 25 Seated Quarter variety duplicate from the Cleveland Collection. Considering the asking price, there is much rarity value here as this die variety becomes more well known and popular.
	1855 With Arrows	VF25	raw		Choice	$60	Choice Original, Eye Appeal. A lovely original 1855 with arrows quarter that has even medium gray/brown patina. The main devices, stars and reverse legend are surrounded with slightly darker toning as is typical on original pieces.

Surfaces are strictly original and covered with light to medium gray patina. Strike is uniform with ample device details remaining for the Fine 15 assigned grade. There are no blemishes to mention whatsoever; just a quality offering for your consideration. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder and ready for a home in an advanced collection.

First year of Liberty Seated quarter production at the San Francisco mint with a mintage of 396,400.

A few scattered micro ticks are seen in the obverse fields consistent with the grade. Strike is typical for the date. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An opportunity to acquire a challenging Seated quarter date that is not often seen in the marketplace.
	1855-S	EF45	NGC 3583700010	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1400	Rare Reverse A Crumbled Die State, First Seated Quarter Production at San Francisco Mint, Original Gun Metal Gray, Accurately Graded. An amazing crumbled reverse die example of the Briggs 1-A die pairing. Noted Seated half dollar specialist, Greg Johnson, discusses the progressive reverse die disintegration of 1855-5 Reverse A in a E-Gobrecht Article dating back to December 2010 (http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Quarter_QOM/1855s_lds_rev.htm). In that article, Greg presents an image of an 1855-S reverse that shows "the crumbling or “disintegration” of the die around the eagle and “STATES OF AMERICA” and states that, "After looking for these coins for more than 4 years I think, with enough patience, it is possible for the interested collector to put together a die progression of this reverse die if one is not too picky about the condition and grade of the coins. Such a progression would begin with early die states that show no abnormal wear or deterioration and proceed through intermediate die states that show the beginning of the deterioration around the eagle and legend, concluding with very late die states in which there appears to be nearly as much metal in the “halo” around the eagle as there is making up the eagle itself. The 1855-s Liberty Seated quarter date is historically important due to being the first quarter struck at the San Francisco mint and probably the first silver coinage to be struck there. Reverse A is probably the first reverse die to be used until fully disintegrated. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An important acquisition for the Liberty Seated quarter die variety specialist.
