1870-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-4-. EF-40 (PCGS). Warm medium and golden-gray toning with intermingled olive highlights. Boldly defined overall, and impressively so for the assigned grade. The first CC-Mint silver dollar, and the most readily obtainable of the four in the Liberty Seated series, the 1870-CC enjoys strong collector demand in all grades. The 11,758 coins produced were distributed into domestic circulation in the West, unusual for a post-1849 Liberty Seated dollar, since virtually all such issues were struck exclusively for use in the export trade. Even so, some 1870-CC were exported after seeing domestic circulation, while most eventually succumbed to melting either abroad or domestically. Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe (2020) accounts for 650 to 875 survivors in all grades, many of which were preserved by those seeking a keepsake from this historic issue, the first of any denomination struck in the Carson City Mint. Others were redeemed from bank and other bullion reserves by the Treasury Department during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but subsequently escaped melting for recoinage. This handsome Choice EF presents better than many circulated survivors and will appeal to a number of specialists. PCGS# 6964. NGC ID: 24ZE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
