Rare 1870-CC Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC AU50

Sirhc

This 1870-CC in About Uncirculated is a rare coin in uncommonly desirable condition. Just eight examples of the date are certified in Uncirculated grades between the two major grading services, and About Uncirculated examples are very rare in their own right. Among Seated half collectors, the 1870-CC is ranks near the top of the most challenging issues for the entire series. Competition is intense for problem-free, high-grade examples. The NGC population is only 6 with 7 graded higher.

Listed at $26,400 in the CDN CPG and $30,000 in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $23,625

1889-CC Morgan Dollar NGC AU58

Sirhc

The 1889-CC is the scarcest of the Carson City Morgans and one of the two biggest key dates in the series overall, trailing only the 1893-S in overall scarcity among circulation strikes. The mintage of 350,000 pieces was accomplished during the final quarter of the year, after the Carson City Mint reopened following a four-year hiatus in production during the first Grover Cleveland Administration. President Benjamin Harrison allowed the Nevada branch mint to reopen, being sympathetic to silver mining interests in the West.

1889-CC Morgan Dollar NGC MS65PL

Sirhc

Yes, it’s True!

The small original mintage for this issue was the result of the short period of time available for coinage, just three months at the end of 1889. The Carson City Mint reopened on July 1, 1889 after a four-year hiatus. The facility was in poor condition, due to neglect and idleness, and necessary repairs to the building and machinery imposed a long delay on coining operations. Coinage was finally resumed in October, and only 350,000 pieces were produced before the end of the year. Due to the extremely large collector base for Morgan dollars, this issue is typically under significant pressure to satisfy demand. The one offered here is color-free, flashy and gorgeous! This and one other are tied for the highest graded by NGC and PCGS hasn’t graded any PL examples this high.

1880-CC Morgan Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

Superb, Super Frosty

Demand for high-grade Carson City material is strong across all denominations and series, but Morgan dollars in particular seem to capture the hearts and mind of collectors. Part of what makes high-end Nevada mint Morgans so interesting are the numerous forces that work to influence their availability and collectability. For example, many issues, like the 1880-CC, have low mintages. But they were often also widely held in storage through the mid-20th century. Essentially, relatively few coins were made, a high proportion of them survive, but even that sizeable number is insufficient to fully satisfy demand. This particular example exhibits frosty surfaces and a wonderful overall appearance. The NGC population is 35 with 4 higher.
