...that chatgpt agrees with me. LOL - I have been looking at this quarter since it got posted. I needed a nice with motto coin - so I was also watching a very nice 1877 MS65 (and yes I know what I am about to say) - but the strike seemed a little weak around the breasts - almost flat. Other than that it was very nice, but I decided finally to go with this coin. So then to add some fun to the process I dropped pictures in chatgpt and asked about this coin: One thing I will say: this is a very attractive example of a scarce date. The 1868 quarter had a mintage of only about 29,400 pieces and is considered a semi-key issue within the Seated Liberty quarter series. So I already new the briggs number (not like 1868 has a bunch) - it wanted all kinds of close ups. So I told chatgpt what the variety was and it agreed. What I like about this date is that experts seem to think only 400 to 450 examples survive and it is just considered a semi-key date - so it can be reasonably priced.
