1861-S Seated Liberty Quarter (25c)

The 1861-S Seated Liberty Quarter is a notable coin for several reasons. As the Civil War erupted in 1861, the San Francisco Mint struck only 96,000 pieces, a relatively low mintage compared to other years in the series. And to add to the allure - it's estimated that only 60 coins have survived commerce since then. This makes the 1861-S a truly rare coin.

This coin, graded VF20 by PCGS and proudly bearing a CAC sticker, exhibits honest wear across its surfaces while retaining all essential design elements.
