Desirable 1873-CC Trade Dollar, MS62

1873-CC T$1 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The Carson City Mint, situated as it was in the thoroughly landlocked state of Nevada, seems an odd choice to strike the ocean-traveling Trade dollar. Yet its presence near Nevada's silver mines, coupled with political pressure, ensured that the small frontier establishment would make the pieces. In 1873, the first year for the series, 124,500 coins bore the CC mintmark.
Of those Trade dollars, few survive, and only a tiny fraction are as well-preserved as the piece offered here. The strongly lustrous fields offer lovely golden-tan toning, with slightly richer patina on the flashy reverse. Though Liberty's head and the nearby stars show a degree of softness, the overall level of detail is pleasing. The visual appeal is strong, and the devices show no trace of wear. A desirable representative. Population: 16 in 62, 16 finer (8/09).(Registry values: N4719)
