Description

Key Date 1873-CC Dollar, Fine Details

1873-CC $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Fine Details. The 1873-CC dollar has an impressively low mintage of only 2,300 pieces. Estimates of the number extant have not varied much from one expert to another over the past 30 years. It is generally accepted that somewhere between 40 and 60 pieces are known in all grades. High grade (XF and better) pieces are especially difficult, which makes this piece an opportunity for a Seated dollar collector. The brightness from cleaning is somewhat mellowed by an overlay of light golden-gray patina. Evenly worn over the high points and showing no more than the expected number of abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24ZN, PCGS# 6972, Greysheet# 7233)

Weight: 26.73 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
