The 1870-S Seated Quarter has the same reverse as the 1866-S, 1867-S, and 1869-S Quarter, with a die cut through the lower loop of the S. The reeding count is the same as well as the earlier dates, at 110 reeds. It's a R-8, possibly unique. Does anyone remember the recent thread about the real valuable coin that only a small handful of people in the hobby knows about?
What about the 1870-S cent, two cents, three cents silver, three cents nickel and five cents nickel made for the Emperor Norton I Presentation Set? TD

Oh, one other note. This is a lower grade circulated piece, and not the possible example that some people in the hobby believe may be in a time capsule in the cornerstone of the old mint in San Francisco. That's the why of my R-8, possibly unique statement.

No. Please elaborate. Are you referring to the 1942 steel cent?
