Uncirculated 1870-CC Seated Dollar

1870-CC $1 MS60 NGC. Variety 3-C. Golden-brown and forest-green intertwine across this introductory year Carson City dollar. The first coin struck at the facility was an 1870-CC Seated dollar, and eventually 12,462 pieces of the issue fell from the dies. Despite the small mintage, examples are known from three obverse and five reverse dies. Variety 3-C is among the more available die combinations, along with 2-B, 2-E, and 1-D. All, of course, are rare in Mint State.
This is an unusually mark-free piece that boasts satin luster throughout the devices and margins. Crisply struck aside from Liberty's hair and a few upper left-side stars. Census: 2 in 60, 14 finer (2/08).
From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.(Registry values: N4719)
