 Choice $2350 New December 1! Semi-Key San Francisco Date, Choice Overall, Lakeland Collection. Given its mintage of only 41,000 pieces, the 1865 San Francisco date is a semi-key date in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Any choice example in EF or better is considered rare as GFRC has only handled a single EF45 and AU58 up until this Lakeland Collection consigned example. Like other dates of the period, heavy circulation in western frontier mining towns took its toll on survivors. This example is well preserved with even gray surfaces and golden highlights at the stars and legend. Fields offer a steely appearance under a bright light. There is enough residual "dirt" that validates the originality. I must suspect that this lot would be a serious upgrade for serious fans of the series. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder.
