1873-CC Arrows Quarter, VG10
An Underrated and Absolute Rarity

1873-CC 25C Arrows VG10 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. Ex: Navy Mustang. Due the prohibitive rarity of the 1873-CC No Arrows quarter, date and mintmark collectors typically have no choice but to acquire an 1873-CC With Arrows piece. Yet, even this issue poses a significant challenge. Only 12,462 pieces were struck, and examples are rare in all grades. Rusty Goe, in The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, estimates that only 45 to 60 coins survive, which makes the 1873-CC Arrows quarter rarer than the 1870-CC. PCGS' estimate of 50 survivors agrees, as does our experience with the auction appearance rate of this issue. The Navy Mustang coin shows a full LIBERTY (with L and Y a bit weak) and full rims, and the pink-gray surfaces are free of singular abrasions, with all major types clear. Population: 7 in 10, 32 finer (6/22).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 819.
