I have read that the Top III TPG do not even recognize it for attribution. I would like to insert this "variety" in my 7070. Does anybody have or seen one of these? http://www.coinnews.net/2009/03/20/...ed-quarters/ Edited by oih82w8 12/22/2011 6:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 11:11 am I read that article...but noticed that it didn't say what mint the specimens involved came from. Have you found that little scarp of fact yet? I'll have to check my collection. I think I have a quarter from that year! Edited for spelling.

jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 5:34 pm Interesting. I do not have an 1857 Seated Liberty quarter. I only have an 1853, 1856, and 1877 occupying the three spots in my 7070.
