Description
1870-CC Seated Liberty Dollar, MS63
Only One Finer Example at PCGS
1870-CC $1 OC-8, High R.4, MS63 PCGS. Osburn-Cushing Die
State a/a. Seateddollarvarieties.com identifies nine die marriages
employed for a 12,462-piece mintage utilizing four obverse dies and
six reverse dies. The coins were struck in small numbers accounting
for 11 documented Mint deliveries, ranging from 2,303 pieces on the
high side to as few as 500 pieces on other occasions. The multiple
small mintages explains the numerous varieties for this first-year
Carson City silver dollar. While the 1870-CC is the most available
of the early CC Seated dollar dates, the issue remains extremely
popular with collectors and is rare in Select Mint State or finer
grades. Viewed head-on, this MS63 example displays cloud-gray
patina spreading evenly throughout both sides. Angled in light,
underlying prooflikeness reveals iridescent colors including gold,
violet, blue, sunrise-orange hues. The sharp strike shows only
nominal weakness at Liberty's upper hair strands. Smooth surfaces
harbor a few pinprick ticks in the right obverse field, but there
are no significant marks or abrasions to disturb the excellent eye
appeal. PCGS Population: 8 in 63, 1 finer (7/25).From The Western Collection of 1964 SMS Coins.
