 Choice $1950 Scarce Grade, Choice Original, Deep Gray Patination, LaSalle Collection. The 1867 quarter sits amid a run of low-mintage Philadelphia dates, struck during a period when hard money was scarce and paper substitutes filled the void. Only 20,000 pieces were struck in this year, and, like the 1866 quarter, business strikes are more desirable than proofs. Fortunately, these are easily distinguished, with circulation pieces exhibiting weakness in the obverse shield ribbon. That is clearly the case here, with several letters of LIBERTY indistinct. This piece reveals deep coin gray patination on both sides with embedded golden hues seen under a bright light. Under the toning, steely fields are revealed. Regardless of time during post-Civil War commerce, this piece is essentially unabraded with a typical strike. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
