The November 2012 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: Prized Mint State 1870-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar 1870-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. MS-60 (NGC). The 1870-CC dollar is relatively elusive in all grades and is particularly so at any Mint State level. The present coin exhibits a blend of golden-gray toning on the obverse and reverse with ample silver-steel showing through. The strike is sharper than average with just a touch of softness on a few of the obverse stars and Liberty's curls. The coin is fully Mint State, with only minor bagmarks and scuffs from long ago shipping. The CC is wide and level and there is a trace of the common double die reverse, with the base of IN in the motto touching, and the W of WE sharply doubled low and left. Mintage for the year trickled to a close after 12,462 were struck, some likely melted from that meager number. While circulated examples are available for a price, true Mint State coins are quite rare and seldom offered. An excellent choice for an advanced Liberty Seated silver dollar specialist.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers Of the several Carson City Mint Liberty Seated silver dollars, the 1870-CC is the only date that comes on the market regularly. However, offerings of nice pieces are still widely spaced. The present coin will serve well to illustrate the very first denomination struck after that mint opened its doors for coinage. PCGS# 6964. NGC Census: 2; 15 finer (MS-4 finest) within designation.
