Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 08/18/2009 7:37 pm The Seated Liberty quarter (SLQ) was minted from 1838-1891. Since it's got a motto above the eagle, it was minted after 1865. Therefore, it could be 1866 S (Mintage 28,000, rare obviously), or 1876 S (mintage 8,596,000). So, my guess is 1876 S SLQ. There was no 1886 S SLQ minted. I hope this helps... Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 12:22 pm While the odds are strongly in favor of an 1876 date, is there a way to determine definitively that it is not an 1866? because considering that rarity, it would be a large value difference even for a damaged coin. How about mm placement? Edited by nod2003 08/19/2009 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 8:48 pm I just checked heritage archives for mm placement, and I am almost entirely sure yours is a 76-s. All of the 66-s coins I looked at had the mintmark much further to the left right above the beginning of the "r". Here is a 66-s reverse. The ones I looked at for 76-s looked closer to yours, although I imagine they have different placements since so many were minted: Report this Post to the Staff
