Description

1870-CC Dollar, MS62
Sole Mint State CAC Example

1870-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, Low R.4. Ex: Bender Collection. Carson City struck Seated dollars for only four years. The first-year 1870-CC is the most available, and is often selected by CC-mint type collectors. But the mintage was just 12,462 pieces, and demand is high for the estimated 800 survivors. There were few if any coin collectors in the Old West, and although some '70-CC dollars were likely set aside out of local pride, only three dozen or so examples remain in Mint State today. Their eye appeal is below average overall, given that CAC has bestowed their seal of approval on just one Mint State coin: the present lot. It offers exquisite golden-brown toning that deepens moderately near the borders. Marks are minor for the designated grade. The strike shows inexactness on Liberty's hair and a few star centers. Population: 8 in 62, 8 finer. CAC: 1 in 62, 0 finer (7/22).
