Anyone know where this 1859 Seated Quarter might be?

Lousy pic but great coin. Haven't owned it for 35 years and don't see in a registry.
I owned it raw, I'm pretty sure it has made it into plastic.

    ttt for a shot in the dark.

    I got it from Ed Milas way back in the 70's. I know it's gotta be somewhere special.

    You can browse thumbnail photos of coins sold at Stack's Bowers in the past 20 years:
    https://archive.stacksbowers.com/
    In the left hand menu, click on

    • U.S. Coins & Related , then
    • Quarter Dollars , then
    • down in Strike, click on Proof , then

    type 1859 in the [Search...] box and press Enter.

    It shows 37 proof 1859 quarters. Maybe you will recognize yours?
    They have great photos.

    Too bad PCGS CoinFacts threw away their value in photos, but they are not the only resource for photos.

    PCGS Auction Prices Realized is also pretty good and has not been wrecked yet.
    It just does not have thumbnails on the index pages like Stack's Bowers has.
