Low-Mintage 1871-CC Seated Dollar, XF40

1871-CC $1 XF40 PCGS. The Carson City Mint came online in 1870 and only produced Seated dollars in the four years from 1870 through 1873, joined in the last year by a much larger emission of Trade dollars as a complement. Of the four Seated dollar issues the 1871-CC has the smallest mintage--a minuscule 1,376 pieces were recorded struck--and most of them apparently circulated in the coin-starved local economy. This piece shows deep charcoal-gray toning on both sides along with grade-consistent wear, but there are few mentionable signs of contact or other distractions. Population: 15 in 40, 33 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
