Lot Description

1878-CC Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-65 (NGC). A lustrous Gem with exceptional eye appeal. Soft russet-gold iridescence graces both sides. The strike is bold and the in-hand quality is exceptional. Indeed, put a loupe to this example and you'll find yourself wondering why a higher grade wasn't in order. This date represents the final year of quarter dollar coinage from the Carson City Mint; from here on through 1893, that mint was full-steam ahead on Morgan dollar coinage. PCGS# 5509. NGC ID: 23V9.
