1871-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4+. EF Details--Repaired (PCGS). Otherwise brilliant surfaces exhibit speckled reddish-russet highlights here and there around the peripheries. Both sides exhibit moderate hairlining and a glossy texture that betray a cleaning, the PCGS qualifier largely concerned with an area of tooling in the right obverse field. On the positive side, the devices are boldly defined overall with some sharper detail remaining in the recesses. Trailing only the 1873-CC, the 1871-CC is the second rarest of just four Carson City Mint issues in the Liberty Seated dollar series. Survivors from a paltry mintage of 1,376 pieces are scarce and desirable at all levels of preservation. From the Lincoln Square Collection.
