Description

1871-CC Seated Dollar, Fine 12 Details.
Only 1,376 Coins Struck, Few Survive

1871-CC $1 -- Cleaned -- ANACS. Fine 12 Details. OC-1, High R.4. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a. Although the 1871-CC Seated dollar has a lower mintage -- only 1,376 pieces were struck -- the 1871-CC and the 1873-CC are neck-and-neck in terms of survival. The two dates each have valid claims to being the rarest Carson City Seated dollar issue. The 1871-CC is generally accorded the title with only a few Mint State examples known and the scarcity of problem-free coins in lower grades. This piece displays bold definition for the assigned Fine 12 Details grade. An old cleaning results in a finely porous obverse while the reverse appears unaffected. Medium-gray surfaces show few marks other than a short mark from Liberty's left (facing) elbow. A misplaced 1 exists in the dentils below the stem of 7.
