Description du lot

1870-CC Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A, the only known dies. VG-10 (PCGS). Smooth wear and just about perfect surfaces for a well circulated example of this coveted date. The mintage of 8,340 pieces vaporized with time through attrition and normal events. How many are left? Well, PCGS has certified a grand total of 43 examples. spanning grades from Poor-1 to AU-55 at the top of their <em>Population Report.</em> That leaves far fewer to choose from than might be expected as the vast majority of those that do survive have problem surfaces. A prize for the Seated Liberty specialist who demands quality and eye appeal. Identifiable by a minor scrape on the E of WE in the Motto which extends to the right. Light silver with darker gray accents in the peripheral legends and dentils.
