CAC.' Description click for larger image1634: 1860-O 25C MS65 PCGS. CAC. 1860-O 25C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 2-B. In this year on the eve of the Civil War, although the Seated quarter was produced at three mints, not one of them saw a mintage exceeding 1 million pieces. The Philadelphia Mint produced only 804,400 coins, with New Orleans contributing 388,000 and San Francisco a meager 56,000. Today the average certified survivor is only Choice AU or thereabouts, and Gem Uncirculated pieces are quite rare. This example is one of only two coins so graded at PCGS, and a single MS66 is finer (6/08). Like all examples of the Briggs 2-B, the obverse stars show no centrils at all except on stars 1-3. The date slopes downward somewhat from left to right, and the large O mintmark is slightly left of center. Both sides of this marvelous Gem are endowed with glorious luster and mottled patina in shades of ocean-blue, pinkish-gold, and smoky amber. Coin Engraver: Christian GobrechtShipping: Coins & Currency (view shipping information)Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
