1871-CC Liberty Seated Dollar Rarity Popular Low Mintage Mint Issue 1871-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4+. AU-53 (PCGS). Offered is an uncommonly high grade survivor of an early Carson City Mint issue that is elusive even in well worn condition. Brilliant surfaces retain bold to sharp striking detail over most design elements. Ample evidence of a satin to semi-reflective finish is also noted for both sides. Given the popularity of both Carson City Mint and Liberty Seated coinage among today's advanced collectors, this noteworthy example is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. The 1871-CC is the second of only four Liberty Seated dollar issues struck at the Carson City Mint. With only 1,376 pieces produced it has the lowest mintage in this highly select group, although it is not the rarest. The final year 1873-CC is more elusive due to a large number of the 2,300 coins struck having been melted after the Act of February 12, 1873 abolished the standard silver dollar. Survivors of the 1871-CC are certainly rare in their own right, of course, and Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe provided an estimate of just 100 to 120 coins extant in all grades in his commentary in our August 2012 sale of the Battle Born Collection, a sale that still echoes in the halls of numismatics. With most survivors well worn, and only a handful in Mint State, this AU would serve as a highlight in any numismatic cabinet. PCGS Population: 7; 12 finer, only three of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 6967. NGC ID: 24ZH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
