Description
1870-CC Silver Dollar, AU58
Inaugural Carson City Coinage
1870-CC $1 AU58 NGC. OC-2, R.5. Osburn-Cushing Die State
a/a, as always. The 1870-CC is the most plentiful Seated Liberty
dollar struck at Carson City, although high-grade examples are
conditionally rare. This near-Mint example is semiprooflike, and
little wear is evident across the devices. Some strike softness is
noted on the left hand stars as usual, as well as Liberty's temple
and the eagle's left (facing) talons. Nonetheless, eye appeal is
excellent. No major abrasions are seen, and dusky champagne toning
warms the silvery surfaces on each side. Finer, Mint State examples
of this issue are decidedly rare, and we have seen only a handful
of such coins in recent years. Census: 21 in 58, 17 finer
(10/20).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24ZE, PCGS# 6964, Greysheet# 7228)
Weight: 26.73 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
