The 1871 Quarter Dollar was the first date in the series to exceed 100,000 coins since the Civil War. Even so, it still commands a premium over the mega-mintage dates such as 1876 and 1877. Uncirculated examples are rather scarce and appear mostly in MS63 and MS64. There is one standout, a single PCGS MS68, that represents one of the finest examples of any Liberty Seated Quarter.
This date comes well struck, with luster ranging from hard and chrome-like to frosty, snowy white.
