1872 25C MS66 PCGS CAC

Single Finest CAC and Pop 1 PCGS. The 1872 Seated Liberty Quarter is a significant rarity within the series, boasting just an estimated survival of 400 pieces extant. While Mint State specimens are difficult to obtain, Gem or finer examples are exceedingly rare, placing this issue among the most challenging for collectors. This eye-watering and exquisite CAC-approved specimen stands out as an extraordinary survivor simply as the Finest. Exhibiting exceptionally smooth, satiny surfaces beneath a stunning blend of sea-green, pinkish-red, and antique-golden toning along the borders, its vibrant, dynamic luster enhances the already mesmerizing visual appeal, while the obverse features a razor-sharp strike and fields proof-like we could have mistaken this for a proof. As a PCGS Pop 1 MS66 with just one finer at MS66+ PCGS (NON-CAC) but none finer at CAC for this Pop 1 and none at CACG - this coin accounts as a duplicate at CAC. This piece represents an irreplaceable opportunity for the advanced Seated Liberty specialist. The combination of eye-catching toning, pristine preservation, and technical superiority solidifies its status as a cornerstone piece for a world-class collection, making it one of the most desirable examples of this challenging date. It is no doubt the finest for the date and issue. PCGS Price Guide $20,000 in MS65 and MS65+ $25,000.
