1871-CC Seated Liberty Dime, Fine 12
Inaugural Dime Coinage at Carson City

1871-CC 10C F-101, R.4, Fine 12 PCGS. Ex: Navy Mustang. The 20,100 Seated dimes struck at Carson City in 1871 were meant to serve Nevada territory commerce. Mint State survivors are prohibitively rare anomalies; most pieces known are low grade and exhibit various circulation scars, often with more severe impairments. The overall scarcity of the 1871-CC is such that it ranks among the most difficult acquisitions in the Seated dime series. This example is about as attractive as it gets for the Fine grade level. Even wear appears on each side, leaving the devices with light slate-gray color, while the fields exhibit lovely lavender patina with golden accents in the outer peripheries. The originality of this piece is uncontested, and its eye appeal unmatched for this grade. Population: 6 in 12, 29 finer (6/22).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 6136.
From The Navy Mustang Collection.
