1846 Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs-Unlisted. AU-58 (PCGS).,This 1846 quarter is boldly toned in steel-olive and silver-gray with iridescent undertones. It is a sharply struck, satin to semi-prooflike example that is just a whisper away from full Mint State preservation. Despite a mintage of 510,000 pieces and a relatively generous population of heavily circulated survivors, the 1846 is scarce in Choice AU and Mint State grades. This will be a find for collectors specializing in the challenging and underrated Liberty Seated quarter series.,From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of the George F. Scanlon Collection, October 1973, lot 976. Lot tag included.,
