Description

1873-CC Seated Dollar, AU58
Fifth on the Condition Census
Ex: Bolen, Battle Born

1873-CC $1 AU58 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, High R.4. Ex: Battle Born-Bender. This final-year Seated dollar, one of just 2,300 pieces struck, is the most difficult of the four Carson City issues in the series, edging out the even lower mintage 1871-CC for that honor. Pieces even approaching Mint State are of the utmost rarity. Rusty Goe enumerates four coins in Uncirculated condition: the Share-Morelan-Hansen coin in MS65 PCGS, the Bareford-Sonnheim-Richmond-Brock coin in MS61 PCGS, the Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner coin in MS61 NGC, and another unpedigreed MS61 NGC example that we offered in July 2006. According to Goe, the Battle Born-Bender coin offered here "is outranked, insofar as quality is concerned, only by the handful of specimens in the Mint State category," placing it on the Condition Census for the issue.

The surfaces on this well-balanced specimen are mildly reflective beneath a uniform blanket of gunmetal-gray and golden patina that tends to limit the effect of wispy hairlines. There is little or no evidence of actual wear, just stacking friction on the highest points of the obverse. Abrasions are no factor, but a series of short, parallel scratches below star 5 are noted for accuracy. The acquisition of this near-mint 1873-CC dollar would certainly provide a magnificent centerpiece for virtually any collection of Seated Carson City coinage. Population: 2 in 58, 4 finer. CAC: 1 in 58, 1 finer (7/22).
