Description
1873-CC Seated Dollar, AU50
Rarest Carson City Silver Dollar
1873-CC $1 AU50 PCGS. OC-1, High R.4. Ex: Navy Mustang.
Osburn-Cushing Die State b/b, both sides lightly clashed. The
1873-CC is the rarest of the four Seated dollar issues from this
mint, despite having only the second-lowest mintage (2,300 coins).
In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, Rusty Goe
estimates that just 85 to 100 pieces survive, while as many as 135
examples of the lower-mintage 1871-CC are known. Dick Osburn and
Brian Cushing suggest that the greater rarity of the 1873-CC may be
due to the transition to the Trade dollar that year; on
seateddollarvarieties.com they write, "apparently, many examples
were caught up in preparations for the new Trade Dollar series and
melted prior to reaching circulation." Whatever the case, the
rarity of the 1873-CC Seated dollar continually captivates
collectors, and it is compounded by the fact that a significant
portion of known examples are cleaned, damaged, or otherwise
impaired.The Navy Mustang coin is a visual and technical delight. A touch of light high-point wear accounts for the AU grade, but the fields remain semireflective with only minor, scattered marks. The hallmark of this piece, however, is the original blue-green, violet, and amber-gold toning that paints the margins, introducing unexpectedly strong visual appeal. Population: 8 in 50, 17 finer (6/22).
