Description
1872-CC 25C VG8 PCGS. The 1872-CC Seated quarter was described as a scarcity in numismatic literature as early as two decades after its production. Rusty Goe posits that in addition to the low mintage of 22,850 coins, many may have been melted at some point after the Mint Act of 1873 slightly altered the weight of minor coinage. This piece shows silver-gray patina with all the major types clear, but a long, thin, horizontal scrape crosses the lower rock when the coin is seen under a loupe. A couple of other shorter ticks appear on the reverse near the mintmark. Population: 8 in 8, 34 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P8)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23US, PCGS# 5482, GSID# 5205)
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 6.22 grams
ASW: 0.17998oz
Mintage: 22,850
