Description

1870-CC Dollar, AU55
First-Year Carson City Issue

1870-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. Variety 2-E. This lightly circulated example is sharply struck and well detailed. The 1870-CC is even more challenging than its low mintage of 11,758 pieces would suggest, primarily because of extensive circulation in the West and subsequent attrition. The smooth, lightly abraded surfaces display light hairlines, along with pleasing light olive-gold color. The most notable surface blemish is a scrape in the upper right obverse field, just to left of star 10. A tan toning spot resides on the lower reverse rim, above the E in ONE. Modest luster helps to provide a nice degree of eye appeal. Population: 36 in 55, 30 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N2998)
