Rare, Low Mintage 1873-CC Quarter, VF25

1873-CC 25C Arrows VF25 PCGS. The mintage of 12,462 pieces tells the story of this rarity. Not only were very few quarters struck of the 1873-CC, but even fewer survived their stint in circulation in the West. In general, Carson City coinage was extensively used in the channels of commerce and lower denomination pieces are especially difficult to locate in nice collector grades. This piece shows even rub over the high points of the design, which also are mostly brilliant from handling. The areas around the design elements show deep gray patina. Lightly marked, as one would expect, but there are no large or distracting blemishes on either side.(Registry values: P9)
