Lot 1365
1873-CC. Arrows. PCGS graded Fine-15. A very rare date. Medium gray toning with some hints of gunmetal-blue variegation that seem to point to many decades in an old coin envelope or to storage in an early collector's Cabinet. Normal wear for the grade designs dictates the Fine classification, but certainly this coin is high end among such. Of the 1873-CC With Arrows quarters, just 12,462 were minted, this in an era in which no numismatist collected branch mint coinage (or at least no record has been recorded of one). That being the case, the mintage slipped into circulation unnoticed, where in time individual examples became quite worn. Today the 1873-CC With Arrows is rarely offered. When it is, typical grades are below the present piece. Again, this is a remarkable opportunity. Pop 5; 24 finer (PCGS # 5492) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
