A Registry-Grade Seated Quarter Buffet
If you are a Seated quarter person, this GreatCollections email reads like a love letter. The Palos Verdes Registry Set is featured with several serious keys, including:
- 1873-CC Arrows PCGS VF-35: $34,000 (68 bids)
- 1849-O AU-58: $15,000
- 1872-CC VF-30: $10,500
- 1878-CC PCGS MS-66+ CAC (also called out in the email)
That is a strong mix of key dates and premium-grade eye appeal.
What’s in the Palos Verdes Offering
The email highlights a run of tough and desirable Seated Liberty quarter issues, including multiple Carson City and New Orleans mint coins, plus CAC-approved higher-grade examples.
This is the kind of group that attracts:
- Advanced date-and-mint collectors
- Registry competitors hunting upgrades
- Dealers looking for coins that stay liquid
Why This Collection Matters
Named registry sets do not hit the market every day. When they do, they often shuffle ownership of key dates for years. The Palos Verdes group is a chance to buy coins that already have:
- Strong grading credentials
- Eye appeal emphasis
- Registry story and pedigree baked in
Collector Take: Strategy for Seated Quarter Fans
If you collect this series seriously, plan ahead:
- Identify your must-have dates
- Decide your max bids before auction night
- Expect competition, especially on CC and O-mint keys
If you are newer to the series, this is still a great learning auction. Study the images, then compare price results to see what the market pays for CAC, toning, and solid originality.
Which one would you take?
If you could snag just one Seated quarter from this group, which date would you chase first?
