Description
1870-CC Silver Dollar, Choice AU
Lightly Toned, Ample Luster
1870-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. OC-2, R.5. Despite a significantly
lower mintage, the first-year Carson City dollar is less rare than
its half dollar counterpart. But at least 95% of survivors are
circulated, with examples certified at the major services in all
grades between AG3 and MS64. The present piece is much nicer than
most '70-CC dollars, since luster accompanies design recesses, and
the surfaces retain their caramel-gold and pearl-gray "skin." The
obverse field exhibits distributed minor marks. OC-2 is identified
by two diagnostics: the base of the 7 in the date is centered over
a dentil, and a diagonal die line emerges from the dentils below
the left foot of the L in DOL.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24ZE, PCGS# 6964, Greysheet# 7228)
Weight: 26.73 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
