Do some 1876-CC seated quarters come prooflike?

  Yup. Big time. I have a flashy one that has a black & white cameo look if you tilt it. 1877-CCs also. Apparently they enjoyed polishing the dies.

  pcgs lists a few designated PL coins in this era if you check the pops. i was a little shocked initially but pleased.

  I have heard that the Carson City mint workers spent a lot of time prepping the dies and planchets in 1876 to commemorate the centennial of the United States. I have seen a few, really nice, 1876 cc coins, so I believe the initial statement to be true.
