Lot 1684
1884 NGC GRADED PROOF 69 WONDER COIN. NGC graded Proof 69. An almost unheard of grade for any U.S. proof coin from the 19th century! Despite years of third party grading by PCGS and NGC, this is the only Proof 69 Seated Liberty Quarter of this date. Moreover, it is one of only 4 Proof 69s given to all dates of Seated Quarters by either NGC or PCGS.
How could such a coin exist? The surfaces are as struck from the mint, aside from a delicate rose-blue tone at the edges, the centers remain frosty and white, the reverse a deeper tone of blue to deep russet. Naturally, the delicate reflective fields show no signs of contact, no signs of handling. As perfect a coin for the date as could possibly exist, with a well deserved grade awarded to the finest known of the date. This coin is currently in NGC holder #230916-005 and the coin can be identified by a hidden "S" shaped lint mark just left of Liberty's shield hidden on her rocky perch. A coin for the record books, once purchased it may not be seen again for decades to come.
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
