Description

1878-CC Quarter, MS66
Important Carson City Issue

1878-CC 25C MS66 PCGS. Once Morgan dollar production began at the branch mints, coinage of smaller denominations ceased. At Carson City, 1878 was the last year for each of the smaller denominations, including just under 1 million quarter dollars. This Premium Gem ranks high in the Condition Census, with just one finer example certified at PCGS, and one at NGC. An amazing example, this Premium Gem exhibits reflective fields with brilliant silver luster beneath delicate gold toning on the obverse and vibrant sea-green toning on the reverse. Population: 11 in 66 (2 in 66+), 1 finer (12/15).(Registry values: P2)
