Seated Dollars
1872-CC $1 VG10 PCGS. OC-1, High R.3. The Osburn-Cushing reference Seateddollarvarieties.com puts forth a survival estimate of 250 coins from an original mintage of 3,150 1872-CC dollars. The low mintage and CC-mintmark combination easily explain the appeal this issue holds for collectors. Well-worn, light-gray motifs stand out against deep-gray fields, creating an appealing circulated cameo effect. The finer points of the design are largely blended together, but outlines remain bold.
