Seated guys- Is there a 1876 cc over cc 25c?

Manorcourtman

Hi Seated experts! Does anyone know if there is a 1876 cc over cc quarter? I have one that sure looks like one. At least the second "c" looks like a repunched MM. Thanks for any help! Will try to take pics later.

If it is known, it would have probably been seen and documented by Breen. Breen 4090 carries the description "Some show traces of repunching on 6 or CC." From p.357. You may get more and better replies at the LSCC forum.

Yes there is, it is described in Briggs book as being two small "cc's" with the final "c" predominately doubled. First it is punched high, then corrected. It is reverse "E" for the date (1876-CC, 6-E)

Funny thing is Briggs does not mention how scarce it is? There were 10 obverse dies noted and 12 reverse. Probably common - wanna sell?

Yeah, he really doesn't say anything about rarity. I think it's probably because no one really cares all that much, there is no price history or premium. Clearly that could change, but right now no one has taken the time to pay attention.

There is also a very recently discovered 1877 over 1876 CC dime. Not known until 3/2010. Discovered
by Rick DeSanctis, a Florida dealer. Gerry Fortin confirmed the find and stated that it's the first true
overdate in the series!
So, you just gotta keep on look'n!
