1874 P Seated Liberty Quarter

[Egon-migration]

Found this lovely looking seated liberty in my grandfather's collection.

Is it just me or do the arrows seem to be really far apart from the date?

The coin appears to be Mint State or perhaps a Proof. I can't tell from the photos.

 

Here is a Proof 1874 quarter that is in my collection. The arrows at the date appear to be in the same positions. NGC graded this one PR-66.

Reverse color looks like a proof, but obverse denticles don't. I'd say it's a nice MS example.

 

Looks like it might have a hint of rub so I'd say AU58-MS63 level, but it could just be your images.

I don’t see any signs of rub , looks to be at the least MS 63 , I dont think it is a proof. This is a nice looking coin .

Looking at the reverses I noticed a mark (die break?) on the shield at 9 o'clock just under the stripes on the edge. Would this mean these coins both came from the same reverse die?

I don't know how else they could both have it in the same spot other wise. Never even noticed that mark.

You're onto something there. All CoinFacts examples of MS pieces lack that die crack. All the proof examples have it.

 

It's a proof to me.

..... the reverse sure is well struck for a business strike...... a proof that saw limited circulation ? Either way, it's stunning. Would the rim ding keep it from MS ? ..... GOD BLESS.....

Just a little update.

 

Junk you see on the coin is actually from the cardboard holder's plastic window. It's tone is actually a very lovely yellow rim around a blue middle on the front - On the back the rim is a great blue with a fire-orange center around the eagle. I've taken it out and grouped it with a few other coins I'm sending in tomorrow to be graded. I'll let you all know the result when it comes back.
