Briggs 4-D
Choice $7250 New April 24! Lone Certified Proof Like Example, Sharply Mirrored Fields, Mottled Aquamarine-Blue Hues. This 1845 Briggs 4-D specimen is truly unique during GFRC's tenure and that of PCGS. This is the lone No Motto Seated quarter to gain a PCGS Proof Like certification given the sharp mirrors on both sides. The bright light visuals are truly compelling with intense reflectance and light toning. Most numismatists would assume that this lot is a proof strike until checking the Briggs encyclopedia. Reported proof strikes will be found with a repunched date per Briggs 5-E listing. Mottled aquamarine-blue hues decorate the obverse while the reverse features copper-gold at the rim. The overall strike is deeply impressed and pleasing. A careful 10x inspection revealed two stray micro-lines below the left eagle claw as the only aberration requiring mention. This is a unique lot that belongs in the most advanced Seated quarter sets under construction. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder.
