1870-CC Seated Dollar, MS62
Important Carson City Issue

1870-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. OC-8, High R.4. Ex: Sierra Biker. Despite a scant mintage of 12,462 pieces, the 1870-CC is the most available of the four Carson City Seated dollar issues. It was the first issue struck at the Old West facility, and a number of pieces were apparently set aside out of local pride, since the issue is more available than the higher mintage 1870-CC half dollar. Most of the saved dollars were eventually spent, though, since the median certified grade is XF40, and Mint State pieces are undeniably rare. This is a minimally abraded representative that boasts a good strike and original orange-gold and amber-russet toning. Luster dominates the plumage and drapery. Population: 8 in 62, 8 finer (9/21).
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2021), lot 3251.
