Description
1878-CC Trade Dollar, MS62
Important Carson City Condition Key
1878-CC T$1 MS62 PCGS. With a mintage of only 97,000 pieces,
the 1878-CC is the prized key to the Carson City Trade dollars. In
The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, Rusty Goe writes,
"Possibly only about one-quarter of one percent of the original
mintage ... survives today, in all condition ratings." Goe
estimates that the Mint State popular is as low as 25 to 32 coins,
a number that is plausible when one considers the likelihood of
duplications in the published grading service figures.This Mint State example displays deep original toning that covers each side in olive-russet color, while golden, amber, and greenish hues flash in the fields when tilted beneath a light. Minor abrasions define the grade. The strike is sharp. Population: 8 in 62 (1 in 62+), 17 finer (10/21).
