Impressive Near-Mint 1878-CC Trade Dollar

1878-CC T$1 AU58 PCGS. The 1878-CC trade dollar is the key-date among all business strike issues of the series. Although official records show a mintage of 97,000 coins during the first part of 1878, records also indicate that 44,148 trade dollars were melted in July of that year. While it is not known what dates were included in the melt, a reasonable assumption is that many or most were 1878-CC coins. Survivors are rare in all grades as the PCGS population data indicates. This example has satiny light gray surfaces with considerable remaining luster beneath iridescent toning. Only a trace of wear is evident on the highpoints of the design. Population: 10 in 58, 24 finer (8/07).(Registry values: N2998)
