1875-CC T$1 Type One Reverse MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg catalog was generous with die characteristics for this lot, and with little wonder, for it is fascinating. Among the notes: a high date on the obverse, raised lines at the NS of GRAINS and near the mintmark, and spidery die cracks in parts of AMERICA and DOLLAR. Assessed as "MS63" in the Eliasberg sale and graded MS64 by PCGS in its green-label days (an opinion backed up by CAC), this example is largely gold-to-gray as mentioned, but an additional rose-peach overtone is visible as well, particularly at the margins. Decently if not fully struck with broad, satiny luster under the patina. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 25 in 64 (1 in 64+), 3 finer. CAC: 4 in 64, 1 finer (11/16).
Ex: Elmer S. Sears; John H. Clapp (purchased 11/1907); Clapp Estate; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 2336; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2012), lot 3328..
