1871-CC Quarter Dollar, Fair 2
Exceptional CAC Collector Coin

1871-CC 25C Fair 2 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 1-A, Flynn-RPD-001. Ex: Navy Mustang. Despite a slightly higher mintage (10,890 vs 8,340 pieces), the 1871-CC quarter dollar is actually rarer than the 1870-CC. Both the certified population as well as the auction appearance rate of this issue are only about two-thirds those of its more famous first-year cousin. Any 1871-CC quarter, no matter the grade, can be considered a true rarity. Our consignor selected a piece in the modest Fair 2 grade level, and yet somehow still managed to pick a coin that is uniquely exceptional for that grade. The grade is held back by reverse wear that effaces the entire rim and portions of the border legends, but the obverse has full rims and grades Good 4 on its own merits. Smooth, unadulterated surfaces display pleasing lilac-gray patina with no objectionable marks. CAC endorsement further sets this piece apart, as a grand total of only nine 1871-CC quarters carry that coveted green label of quality recognition. Population: 3 in 2, 55 finer. CAC: 2 in 2, 7 finer (6/22).
