Description

Add a once-in-a-lifetime centerpiece to your cabinet with this 1878 Seated Liberty Quarter, graded Proof 65 Ultra Cameo by NGC.

Out of the entire surviving mintage of just 800 proofs, No other coin shares this Ultra Cameo designation or grade—NGC reports a population of ONE, with only one finer.

Design & Eye Appeal: Christian Gobrecht’s elegant Liberty sits on a rock, framed by jet-black mirrored fields. Thick, snow-white frost on Liberty and the bold heraldic eagle delivers dramatic contrast worthy of the Ultra Cameo label.

Condition Highlights (PF 65): Razor-sharp strike, pristine mirrors, and only the faintest hairlines under magnification—absolutely premium for the grade.

Rarity & Investment Merit: With one peer, this specimen stands alone for registry sets and high-end Seated Liberty specialists, positioning it for strong long-term appreciation.

Certification: Encapsulated and guaranteed genuine by NGC; the label reflects both the numeric grade (PF 65) and the coveted ULTRA CAMEO designation.

Whether you’re elevating an elite type set, competing in registry rankings, or acquiring a tangible slice of 19th-century American artistry, this sole-surviving PF65 Ultra Cameo 1878 quarter is an unparalleled opportunity—available here and nowhere else.
