 Choice $3900 New April 24! Gorgeous Eye Appeal, Granular Frosted Luster, Dancing Cartwheels, Near Gem Original. One of my favorite lots in this late April consignment is this 1871 Briggs 4-C quarter with sports rich granular frosted luster and intense coloration. This piece is downright gorgeous example from a mintage of 118.200 pieces. Few were preserved in Mint State based on the single digit populations and infrequent auction appearances. Bright light viewing is a joy given the radiance and dancing cartwheels. Obverse coloration is primarily rose with peripheral blues at the stars and into the rim. Varying shades of copper-gold are noted on the reverse and accurately illustrated within the images. Strike is 100% complete when considering how the Type II design hubs are notorious for weak strikes. Partial wire rims are noted on both sides. A 10x inspection revealed an ancient line from start 7 through the top of head and into the cap. To the untrained eye this would appear to be a toning line but in reality is a faint line in the surface. I suspect this line is as made given how well the balance of the surfaces are preserved. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
