Trade Dollars
1878-CC T$1 AU58 PCGS. A low initial mintage of 97,000 1878-CC Trade dollars was reduced even further when 44,148 dollars, mostly consisting of the 1878-CC, were melted on July 19 of the same year. The issue is the rarest in the series in circulated condition, and only 350 coins are thought to survive across the entire grade spectrum. This near-Uncirculated example features natural, medium gray toning over each side with olive and russet peripheral shadings. Well-struck with a trace of friction over the devices. A small reeding mark is seen above Liberty's thigh. Population: 14 in 58, 34 finer (1/17).
