1883-CC $1 VF30 认证号27888183, PCGS号7144

1883 was another year of high silver dollar production at the Carson City mint, over 1.2 million silver dollars were produced. And again, as in the preceding years, most were put into storage. In fact, the GSA population was over 750,000 meaning that over 60 percent survived until the GSA sales in the 1970s. This one may have spent some time in a cardboard album after circulating extensively, as rose and blue toning is just starting to peek out from around the rims.

The 1883-CC $1 is one of the most common dates issued by the Carson City Mint.  Large quantities of full bags of $1,000 face value appeared in the 1960s in U.S. Treasury vaults, accounting for most of the known population.  These were distribued in the late 1970s and early 1980s by the General Services Administration, which sold individual coins to dealers and collectors.  Today, they are extremely common and can be found with ease in all Mint State grades up to MS67+.  The most frequently-seen grade is MS64, where PCGS alone has certified over 15,000 examples (as of July 2015).  In general, coins of this date show strong strikes and deep, frosty luster. 

Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are scarce and represent about one-seventh of the total population.  Both appear to be of similar rarity.  Gems are readily available in these formats, too, but they are usually more expensive because of their distinctive appearance.
