1706 1805 Br.5 (R-5) G $650.00
1805 Br.5 (R-5). Good. This lilac gray example is well circulated but problem-free. The surfaces and...
Good. This lilac gray example is well circulated but problem-free. The surfaces and rims are smooth and free of marks. This scarce variety was not discovered until after Browning had published his seminal work on early Quarters. An important opportunity for the specialist to add an eye appealing example to his collection.
1707 1807 Br.2 (R-3). Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $8,000.00
1807 Br.2 (R-3). Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Light gold toning on the obverse, the reverse mostly...
Light gold toning on the obverse, the reverse mostly untoned and satiny. Well struck with even the most intricate part of the design fully struck. There is some weakness though on the denticles, which is not unusual for these early issues. A really attractive example for the collector of Early American coins.

Date wide, not equally spaced, '8' is centered under curl. Very sharp strike, with wonderful subdued russet and cyan patina over lustrous fields. There are a few minor marks in the upper right obverse field. Great eye-appeal and rare so nice.
1709 1828 Br.1. Die State III. Brilliant Uncirculated and wholly reflective BU $3,750.00
1828 Br.1. Die State III. Brilliant Uncirculated and wholly reflective. The present coin has long...
The present coin has long been considered a Proof striking, but present research casts some doubt on that status. Nevertheless, the reflective nature of the fields and quality of the strike are indicative of a possible specimen strike or some sort of presentation issue. Proofs are known from this die pair, and many high grade survivors exhibit reflective mirror fields as seen here. As...  more
1710 1835 Br.6 EF $220.00

Extremely Fine. This steel gray example displays just minimal wear. The tiniest of edge marks is found near star 7, but the surfaces are otherwise smooth and free of distractions. A pleasing example.

1854 Arrows. Choice Brilliant Proof. Toned with attractive dark tawny-gold throughout, with blue near...
Toned with attractive dark tawny-gold throughout, with blue near the rims. The strike is bold and complete, as expected for a Proof coin. Scarce, as perhaps 20-30 are known of this issue, and these are eagerly sought out for the elusive With Arrows obverse die. The present coin is not the finest technically, with a trace evidence of contact in the field and perhaps a few hairlines obscured...  more
1713 1854 Arrows AU $120.00

About Uncirculated and essentially Choice in terms of wear. Golden orange toning overlays surfaces that have been lightly hairlined in the past. Here is a respectable example for a type collection.
1714 1860'S' EF $6,200.00
1860'S' Extremely Fine. Deep lavender and gray tones bathe the smooth fields, with hints of light...
Extremely Fine. Deep lavender and gray tones bathe the smooth fields, with hints of light rose and gold hugging the design motifs, stars and lettering. The surfaces are a bit glossy, and might be indicative of a very old cleaning, while some circulation tics have been minimized by wear and by the richly attractive toning. The 1860'S' is a major rarity in the Liberty Seated Quarter series, and...  more
1715 1871 Brilliant Proof BR PF $310.00

Sharp, frosty devices create a cameo effect against mirrored fields with a hint of pale gold toning. Light hairlines from a past wiping are in evidence. The Proof mintage of this date totals only 960 pieces.

Ice blue, amber and russet tones abound on the obverse while a sea of cobalt blue and plum tones enhance the beauty of the reverse.

A wonderful example housed in an early NGC holder. NGC MS63.
1718 1883 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $525.00

- and approaching a Gem classification. The Design features offer needle-sharp definition, and are enhanced by liquid-mirror surrounding fields.

1719 1888'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $650.00

Glittering, light prooflike flash emanates from beneath a layer of exquisite lavender gray, magenta and iridescent blue toning. Strike is rather strong as expected of this date-mint combination, and the usual, distinctly strong clashmarks are found on both obverse and reverse. Just 68,000 pieces were struck of this final New Orleans mint Liberty Seated issue, and precious few have survived...  more
