Description

1872-CC Seated Dollar, AU58
Deep, Gunmetal-Gray Patina

1872-CC $1 AU58 PCGS. Perhaps more available than its tiny 3,150-piece mintage would suggest, most of the saved examples are in lower grades. The significance of mintmarks did not attract the collecting public until the 1890s, when the rarity was recognized and some coins were pulled from circulation. This deep, gunmetal-gray example spent very little time -- if any at all -- in commerce. Sharply struck and attractive, the coin shows only a few tiny abrasions and a bit of cloudiness over the underlying prooflike surfaces. Seldom offered in this near-Mint grade or finer. Population: 12 in 58, 12 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24ZK, PCGS# 6969, Greysheet# 7231)

Weight: 26.73 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
