1878-CC quarter semi-cancelled die close-up was created by coindrummer
This is a close-up photo of my 1878-CC seated quarter dollar semi-cancelled die variety (NGC MS-65 toned) showing the detailed area of the raised die line. Notice the very visible line going slightly at a diagonal across miss Liberty's midrift and making a "T" at the base of her flag staff.
I understand that in the old days of coin grading this semi-cancelled die line was often mistaken for a surface scratch on the coin.

Thanks Coindrummer! It's great that these coins are being preserved as they are. I can imagine there are many of this variety with the die lines worn away.

What is the grade of that coin, Maya? That is just a beauty of a coin. I can see the line also. Both of those coins are just awesome. I need to get one of those someday.. I will add it to my long list :woohoo:
