Description

1876-CC Seated Quarter, Stunning MS66
Multicolor Patina and a Bold Strike

1876-CC 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 5-D. Stunning patina graces each side of this Premium Gem in shades of pearl, rose, mint, and aqua. The strike is well-impressed, considering that the dies show signs of rusting on the portrait of Liberty, and the peripheries on each side are encircled by die cracks. A beautiful and interesting coin, among the few finest from the generous mintage approaching 5 million coins. Several die pairs are identified in Briggs.

Variety: Briggs 5-D, showing a fascinating network of peripheral die cracks encircling the entirety of both sides. Type Two reverse, Small CC mintmark.

Population Data (4/15): PCGS shows six MS66 and three MS67 finer. NGC shows 12 MS66 and two MS67. This piece is one of two in MS66 with the CAC green approval.

Heritage Commentary: Gene Gardner upgraded his previous piece, an MS65 PCGS example, of which he said, "numerous marks ... make the grade generous" and "one of the few in the collection which would not qualify for a Condition Census."(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23V3, PCGS# 5502, Greysheet# 5213)

Weight: 6.25 grams
