Lot Title:

Four Seated Liberty Quarters. Two 1876-CC, one 1878-CC and an 1878-P.
|
|
Description:
|
The Centennial CC coins equivalently grade XF-40, and even though both display similar colors, the scheme differs between them. Coloration for the first coin is clearly of a two-toned nature, with bright silver highpoint color contrasting sharply with charcoal fields. The second coin has coloration variation in three colors, with light highpoints, medium-grey fields, and darker color encircling the inner periphery of the obverse. For the connoisseur of gritty, grungy, grimy original coins that haven’t had their character stripped away by harsh chemicals, presented is a nice and dirty 1878-CC quarter in an XF-40 grade. Plenty of soil is embedded in the recessed areas, with only the highpoint detail and the rims displaying lighter silvery-grey coloration. Complementing is an 1878 Philly coin that itself offers plenty of grubby appeal. It grades VF-20, and is a very good match for the CC counterpart.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
