Description
1873-CC Seated Dollar, AU53
Key Issue
1873-CC $1 AU53 PCGS. OC-1, High R.4. Only 2,300 examples of
the 1873-CC Seated dollar were struck, and apparently only one pair
of dies was needed to produce this limited number of final-year
dollars. Rusty Goe estimates that 80 to 100 pieces are extant in
all grades with only 45 to 50 examples estimated today in XF-AU
grades. The 1873-CC is even scarcer than the 1871-CC, which has a
much lower mintage of only 1,376 pieces struck. It has been
speculated (mostly by Walter Breen) that as many as 1,300 pieces
were melted of the 1873-CC, but like many of Walter's assertions
there is no hard data to back up his theory. This piece displays
variegated gray-golden toning over both sides and the fields are
bright, apparently the initial die polish had not diminished
significantly to give the coin the expected frosted mint luster
usually associated with CC dollars. There are no obvious or
detracting marks on either side and the strike is just shy of full.
