Description

1872-CC Quarter Dollar, VG10
Original, Unimpaired Surfaces

1872-CC 25C VG10 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. Ex: Navy Mustang. Quarter dollar production at Carson City increased to 22,850 pieces in 1872, although local commerce in the Nevada territory sustained a high attrition rate for subsidiary silver denominations. As a result, the 1872-CC is only minutely more plentiful than the 1870-CC according to certified population figures, and it is every bit as rare as that issue in terms of its auction appearance rate. This collector-grade example displays medium stone-gray patina with some olive flecks on the obverse that attest to the originality of the surfaces. There are no obtrusive marks for the grade, and the overall look of this coin is exactly what one expects for an unimpaired VG-level Carson City quarter. Population: 8 in 10, 43 finer (6/22).
From The Navy Mustang Collection. (Registry values: P8)
