$9500 		Rare S-Mint Date, Important Opportunity, Choice Original. One of the most significant offerings, from the newly released Liberty Seated quarter collection, is this 1872-S choice example. PCGS has certified only three at the EF40 grade with no auction records. If checking the EF45 CoinFacts data in EF45, again only three are holdered with three auction records between 2006 and 2017. The situation is bleaked in AU with only five certified in all grades with the last auction record dating back to 2016. Again, I can't stress enough that collectors building a complete Seated quarter set should step up and purchase this lot. A uniform light gray skin covers both sides with the fields being totally original. Under a 10x, I see smooth steely fields, as struck, with no traces of hairlines or other "enhancements". "Dirt" also surrounds the stars, date digits, and is noted within the reverse shield as further validation. Briggs notes that the stars are softly struck as is the case here. He also points out that a heavy die clash of the obverse rock is seen in the scroll which is readily noted. An opportunity for the astute collector. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2024) holder. December 1969
