1878-CC Trade Dollar, AU58
Key Issue, Melt Rarity

1878-CC T$1 AU58 PCGS. The mintage for the 1878-CC Trade dollar was a mere 97,000 pieces, and many of these were part of the 44,148 pieces that were melted on July 19 of this year, further reducing the net availability of this key issue. Mint State coins are rare, and this near-Mint example represents excellent value for the collector. Some of the original luster still remains and the strike details are sharp overall. Gray-toned with touches of lilac and gold. Identifiable by a three-reed nick in the field between the left wing of the eagle and the back of the neck. Population: 14 in 58, 29 finer (8/13).
