1872-CC Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-3+. EF-40 (PCGS). OGH. Well defined with bold detail throughout and plenty of sharper definition remaining in the recesses. A bit glossy in texture, and also with faint hairlines, although the surfaces are starting to retone. The Carson City Mint produced only 3,150 silver dollars in 1872. Repeating a standard scenario for early gold and silver issues from this coinage facility, the 1872-CC dollars were routinely released into local and regional commerce, with most eventually shipped to China, where there was a great appetite for silver metal. Writing in his 2020 reference The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, CC-Mint expert Rusty Goe estimates that 250 to 300 exist today in all grades. A similar estimate by Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing (2018) suggest just 250 surviving pieces in total. The latter acknowledge a small hoard of about 100 examples having been distributed in 2015 through 2017, though in general market appearances for straight-graded EF and AU examples tend to be few and far between.
