Challenging Issue, Choice Original, Tenafly Collection. The 1878-S quarter is yet another challenging issue in the Liberty Seated series, struck to the extent of 140,000 coins. Briggs suggests than many of these were melted for the silver dollar production that ramped up during this year. Choice examples are tougher still, with only 12 pieces recognized by CAC. This VF coin exhibits a two-tone obverse with grey fields surrounding silver stars, while the reverse skin is more even and thicker. Marks are typical for the VF grade with no major problems - this is a pleasing example of a tough coin. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. December 1969
