Description

1870-CC Quarter, Fine Details
First-Year, Key-Date Issue

1870-CC 25C -- Repaired, Whizzed-- NCS Genuine. Fine Details. The low mintage of 8,340 coins from Carson City, in that mint's first year of coinage production, ensures the key date status of this important issue. This dove-gray example shows the faintly granular surface textures associated with "smoothing", or "whizzing". The remaining design detail seems more than adequate, for a Fine Details designation, and all of the letters in LIBERTY are evident and virtually complete.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23UL, PCGS# 5477, Greysheet# 5202)
