AU 1861-S Quarter 1861-S Quarter AU-53 PCGS. Bright and lustrous with a sheen of faint champagne-gold on both sides, and with plenty of mint bloom in the protected areas. Though 96,000 examples of the date were struck, local circulation ate into the mintage considerably, leaving today’s surviving examples apt to be AG to Fine or so; anything finer is a condition rarity.


We note here that neither PCGS nor NGC has certified a Mint State example of the date as we go to press! There is but a small population of AU 1861-S quarters available – 19 grading events in total for the combined PCGS and NGC statistics. “Settling” for a pleasing AU example of this elusive branch mint issue is a major accomplishment, not a black mark. The bidding here should prove our point.
PCGS Population: 1; 11 finer (AU-58 finest).
PCGS #5455
