Lot 735

1856-S Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Sharpness of VF-20 but retooled on the obverse. This is the curious S over S variety, with a much smaller S visible underneath the huge S hiding in the lower right side of the huge letter. The central obverse appears to have been tooled, perhaps to remove or hide some damage, then carefully worked to cover up the tooling. This is not very noticeable, and with the lovely gray toning around the periphery not many would notice. As to the surfaces, they still have more handling marks than one would expect for the grade. Better than we make it sound so inspection recommended as the S over S variety is popular and tough to find nice.

 
Realized $121
