1870-CC $1 MS (PCGS#6964)

Summer 2026 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: A boldly defined and originally preserved EF example with blooms of steely-charcoal to dominant olive-gray patina. No sizable or otherwise singularly distracting marks are seen - a rare quality in a lightly to moderately circulated early date CC-Mint silver coins.<p>The first of only four Carson City Mint Liberty Seated silver dollars, the 1870-CC, with a mintage of 12,462 pieces, is also the most available in today's market. Unlike their later date Philadelphia Mint counterparts, the four CC-Mint issues in this series were released regionally instead of seeing immediate export. The 1870-CC is the first Liberty Seated dollar to see domestic circulation since limited quantities of the 1859-S were also retained for commercial use in the West. The novelty of these first-year silver dollars with the CC mintmark resulted in a fair number being set aside as keepsakes at the time of issue, as well as being plucked from circulation in later years. In his outstanding reference <em>The Confident Carson City Coin Collector</em> (2020), Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe estimates that 650 to 875 coins are extant in all grades. Most are well worn and grade no finer than VF. The author's estimate for Mint State survivors dwindles to just 23 to 28 pieces. This CAC-approved EF example is a significant offering that is sure to see spirited bidder competition.
