Lot Description

1872-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. AU-55 (NGC). On this lovely coin, attractive light silver dominates the surfaces with deeper blue and gray toning accents around the rims, as well as light yellow-rose tints blended into the mix. Evidence of light circulation is seen, as expected. Most of the devices are well struck, but Liberty's head is a trifle soft on her hair curl definition. The mintage for this issue is only 3,150 pieces, creating a key date coin that is challenging to find today in all grades. This is an extremely collectible example in terms of eye appeal and technical quality.
