Lot Description

1878-CC Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A. Cancelled Obverse Die. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. A handsome specimen having frosty motifs and satiny fields. Boldly struck in all areas. The obverse is bright, frosty and essentially untoned. The reverse is rich sunset-golden color overall. The "Cancelled Obverse" moniker is due to a thin die gouge that extends from Liberty's right arm -- just above the elbow -- to her left knee; certainly, one of the most conspicuous and interesting varieties in the Liberty Seated quarter series. PCGS# 5509. NGC ID: 23V9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
