1876 (CC) Fine Reeding 25c

I just added this to my collection with my dealers help. Can anyone tell me more about Fine Reeding? And the NGC desigination of Fine Reeding? Any specific reference books I can review to learn more?

Thanks!

Three collars were used for the 1876-CC quarter dollars. The fine reeding collar (153 reeds) is actually the most common, despite Walter Breen's claim that it is rare. Larry Briggs' book on Seated Liberty Quarters provides a bit more information.

 

NGC does not apply this designation routinely, only when a customer submits a coin for VarietyPlus service. For that reason, we've designated just a few, and the small certified population should not be misinterpreted as rarity.

Thank you David! The coin came back in MS 66, and I am actually pleased with the desigination. I'm glad NGC provides the service.
