since i don't collect US coins, so i have no idea how rare is the coin? can some one give me some informations?
(i won't bid on this coin because it's only ship to US address, and i live in Canada. but i just love the outlook of this coin)

thanks for your input!

For a Seated Quarter its not rare.If it is its only due to its condition.
Now if it were a 1859 S in 62 THAT could be a very scarce 2 bits.

Lots of low mintage dates in early Quarters.Looks awful exciting to me.

Nice looking coin.

While somewhat scarcer than the surrounding P mints of 1856-1862 this date is not much more than a type coin. I saw a pretty nice PCGS MS65 at FUN and the ask price was around $5-6K. The CDN lists this date at a 30-60% premium in the higher MS grades but there are just not enough date collectors that want one. I'd say the date is a tuff sale as the grade goes up. An 1859-0 would be a neat
coin as those are not around in true mint state. Most are sliders.
I'd love an 1859-s in UNC too.....don't believe one is known to exist yet. Buying an 1859 for a hefty premium is easy....selling it later on for a premium is the hard part.
