Owner's Description

Hands down, this is one of my favorite classic proofs! It was actually my first 19th century proof coin which I bought from Pinnacle Rarities which has appreciated since my purchase. It has gorgeous champagne toning with the grade limited by a staple scratch at 11:00 on the obverse. There are absolutely no hairlines on this wondercoin. If not for the scratch, it would grade 67 easily.<br /><br />http://boards.collectors-society.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1362910&an=0&page=0#Post1362910<br /><br />******************************<br />1885 QUARTER DOLLAR<br />******************************<br /><br />Mintage:<br />Circulation strikes: 13,600<br />Proofs: 930<br /><br />Designer: Obverse by Thomas Sully, modified by Christian Gobrecht and Robert Ball Hughes, executed by James Barton Longacre; Reverse by Christian Gobrecht, modified by James Barton Longacre<br /><br />Diameter: ±24.3 millimeters<br /><br />Metal Content:<br />Silver - 90%<br />Copper - 10%<br /><br />Weight: ±96.5 grains (±6.3 grams)<br /><br />Edge: Reeded<br /><br />Mintmark: None (for Philadelphia, PA) below the eagle on the reverse
