Description

Famous 1871-CC Quarter, Good 6

1871-CC 25C Good 6 PCGS. CAC. The obverse has rich rose-gray color with a band of violet across the lower left, while the reverse is slightly paler. Liberty's figure has minimal detail save for a few bars in the shield, but the obverse rims are intact, and that side has few significant abrasions. The reverse shows merging at the lower rim, though the Carson City mintmark remains clear. Overall, a pleasing representative of this early low-mintage issue that saw heavy use in an Old West starved for small change. Population: 2 in 6, 19 finer (3/10).
