This coin caught my eye on Ebay. The photos in the listing weren't great but I found myself going back to them again and again. Common date; uncommon example.
What a great look! Dark charcoal-gray fields, with lighter devices. My photos can't do this coin justice, and show it to be more light and brown than it is in hand. The Reverse, to me, is solid for the grade. The Obverse has a nice cameo look. I also note the die crack on the Reverse. Going counterclockwise, it runs along the rim, just above the dentils, from the tip of the U (United) all the way through the denomination and around to the I (America). Very cool. You can see a lot, but not quite all, of the crack in my photo.
Purchased this coin in its holder, and then submitted it to CAC. It passed: currently the only VG10 example with the Green Bean.

CAC.
This is a very nice F12, for sure. It has an even brown patina, with lighter central devices. Tilting under light reveals gold accents on the devices and shades of blue-violet in the fields. I love the look but, unfortunately, my camera can't do it justice.
But what makes this coin really interesting is that it's an example of a very rare die pairing. It combines the new Type 2 obverse introduced in 1859 with the old Type 1 reverse that began to be phased out in 1859. The Type 2 obverse adds shield lines above the E in Liberty, and Lady Liberty gets a redesigned head, face, and hair. On the Type 1 reverse the eagle's eye is concave and the last A in America sits lower than the other letters in the legend.
Briggs noted in 1991 that this die pairing is rare. More recently, Greg Johnson (a noted Seated Quarter specialist) refers to this pairing as "a very rare variety of a very common date." 1861 saw the last Philadelphia quarters minted with the old Type 1 reverse, and the 1861 Type 2/Type 1 quarter is indeed tough to find. I felt fortunate to purchase a PCGS AG3 example a few years ago. When an F12 CAC example of this coin appeared in a recent GFRC auction, attributed as such by Gerry Fortin and his auction cataloguer, I just had to have it!
