Seated Quarters
1877-CC 25C MS65 NGC. CAC. Briggs-Unlisted. Ex: Hilt Collection. The reverse is a match to Briggs' reverse A, but the obverse does not have the recut date numerals that are diagnostic of obverse 1. Both sides are notably semiprooflike in the fields, with mild die rust over the central motifs. Tinges of sky-blue in the peripheries accent warm sun-gold hues overall, and the corresponding eye appeal is exceptional. Census: 39 in 65 (1 in 65+), 21 finer. CAC: 5 in 65, 14 finer (10/16).
