<B>1875-CC 25C MS63 PCGS.</B></I> Despite a seemingly sizable mintage of 140,000 pieces, the 1875-CC quarter rarely crosses the auction block in any grade. This lack of appearances, combined with a misperception of its scarcity and value, makes it a highly underrated issue in the Seated series. Many pricing guides have been slow to acknowledge gains in price made in the last few years; the 2008 <I>Guide Book</B></I>, for example, lists a Select example at just $2,500, a value that seems absurdly low in the context of a recent five-figure result.<BR> In his <I>The Mint on Carson Street</B></I>, Rusty Goe declares that "[p]roperly graded specimens in Fine to MS-63 are most desirable." The lovely exemplar offered here appears at the high end of that scale. Pink and gold accents grace otherwise silver-white surfaces that show whispers of highpoint frost and subtle, satiny luster. Well struck with light, scattered flaws in the fields that preclude a finer designation. Population: 4 in 63, 8 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
