Description
1870-CC Seated Liberty Dollar, MS63
Only One Finer Example at PCGS
1870-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. OC-9, Low R.4. Osburn-Cushing Die
State a/a. Only 11,758 Seated Liberty dollars were struck at the
Carson City Mint in 1870, the first year of coinage at the storied
Western facility. The coins were mostly released into circulation
at the time of issue, but a number were later saved by collectors,
who pulled them from circulation when collecting mintmarks became
popular after 1893. As a result, the issue is not too difficult to
locate in circulated grades, but it is very rare at the MS63
level.The present coin is an impressive Select example, with well-detailed design elements and partially prooflike surfaces. The fields are free of large or distracting contact marks and display pleasing shades of golden-brown and lavender-gray toning on both sides. The PCGS population has not changed for the past 10+ years. Population (all varieties): 8 in 63, 1 finer (3/25).
