Outstanding and Scarce 1870-CC Dollar, AU55

1870-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. The Carson City Mint opened in 1870, and the popular pieces from its first year are all rare and usually seen heavily circulated. The desperate need for more coinage in the West meant that anything struck at the Carson City Mint immediately went into circulation. As such, a lightly handled piece such as the present one is highly desirable and scarce. This piece is mostly brilliant, with just a few areas of darker, purplish toning. The semiprooflike fields show no marks of any significance save for a tiny spot to the left of Liberty. The strike is nearly full, with just a little softness around Liberty's head. An excellent first year of issue, with a mintage of just 11,758 pieces. Population: 36 in 55, 28 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)
