1859 Octagonal Liberty Quarter, MS64
Rare BG-705, Tied for Finest Certified
1859 25C Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-705, High R.6, MS64 PCGS. A rare backdated Period Two variety that is invariably encountered with a lightly impressed central reverse. The present piece is better struck than most, with each letter in DOLLAR and all four date digits partly evident. Compare with the other MS64 PCGS example, lot 1394 from our 2007 Milwaukee ANA Signature. The olive-green and peach-gold surfaces are free from blemishes. The NGC Census also shows two pieces in MS64 with none finer.
