Description
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).From The Navy Mustang Collection. (Registry values: P9)
