Description
NGC 1870-CC XF 45 Cleaned. Generally considered to to br the rarest date in the entire series of Seated quarters, only 8,340 pieces of the 1870-CC were struck. Naturally, examples in all grades are rare and Larry Briggs considers XF/AU coins as R.7. Mint state pieces are unknown. Problem-free planchets of this issue are rare and many survivors show weak rims on one side or the other. This is a well struck piece with strong details on the rims, and the planchet is clean and free from impairments. However, someone in a misguided attempt to "improve" the coin, has cleaned it and left it with that unnaturally bright sheen indicative of a cleaned coin. There are only slight handling marks on each side and a light overlay of golden patina in the fields.
