Lot Description

1878-CC Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-B. Cancelled Obverse Die. MS-63 (PCGS). The cancelled die is the long engravers cut seen on Liberty's thigh clear up to her right arm, and similar features are sometimes seen on various Carson City coinage of the era. Deep dusky gold and lilac toning on both sides over lustrous fields. The strike is crisp and the surfaces worthy of examination as these are seldom found so well preserved and free of bagmarks. Certainly a desirable piece for the date or mint collector. PCGS# 5509. NGC ID: 23V9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
