Liberty Seated Quarters - Carson City Date Sets

There were only eight years in which Liberty Seated Quarters were produced at the Carson City mint, 1870 – 1873 and 1875 – 1978. The four earliest issues are frequently referred to by collectors of the series as “the big four CC’s”. Their extreme rarity and associated cost have given pause to many set builders. Although the 1876 – 1878 issues are readily available, the 1875-CC quarter has become very popular and very scarce in recent years.

Submission to the Carson City Date Set registry can be accomplished via input forms located at the Basic Set, Business Strikes page. Once a complete Seated Quarter set is submitted, the Carson City dates are extracted to populate this subset. Every effort will be made to quickly post your set or recent updates!

Definitions

% Completion: Number of coin entries divided by total entries requirement to complete a set; for New Orleans Date Set, 8 entries are required for 100% completion.

Set Weighted Grade: The grade of each coin is multiplied by the "rarity factor", then summed and divided by the total of the "rarity factors" for those coin entries in the set.

Set Rating: The grade of each coin is mutiplied by the "rarity factor", then summed and divided by the total of all "rarity factors" for a completed set.

Rarity Factor: The rarity assessment for each date or variety is based on availability in grades of EF-AU and uses a scale of R-1 through R-8 with a R-1 weight being the most common while a R-8 weight being the most difficult to locate. Rarity estimates are from Greg Johnson with the Larry Briggs Liberty Seated Quarter book as reference.
