Challenging 1873-CC Seated Dollar

1873-CC $1 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VF specimen that has been damaged, cleaned, and retoned deep golden-brown and cream-gray. The reverse is minimally abraded, the obverse field displays moderate marks, and a few obtrusive abrasions are noted near Liberty's legs.
The 1873-CC is the rarest Carson City silver dollar. The tiny mintage of 2,300 pieces is admittedly greater than the 1871-CC production of 1,376 pieces, but much of the 1873-CC emission was likely melted at Carson City after the silver dollar was repealed by the so-called Crime of 1873, which also ended the two cent, three cent silver, and half dime series.
