1876-CC Trade Dollar. Type I/II. JK-5. Large CC. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.

1876-CC Trade Dollar. Type I/II. JK-5. Large CC. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Sharply defined and lustrous for the grade, the surfaces are toned in iridescent charcoal-blue and rose-russet that is bolder and more extensive on the obverse. The Carson City Mint struck just 509,000 trade dollars in 1876, one of the lowest outputs for a circulation strike issue of this type, and a considerable step down from the record (for the facility) of 1,573,700 pieces recorded for 1875. All of these 1876-CC coins were delivered between January and April of that year, after which the presses fell silent for this denomination until 1877. Along with the 1873-CC and 1877-CC, the 1876-CC is in the second rarity tier among Carson City Mint trade dollars, being less rare in an absolute sense than the key date 1878-CC, but more challenging to locate than the 1874-CC and 1875-CC. In circulated grades the 1876-CC is scarce, both with and without chopmarks. In Choice AU it is especially so and, indeed, our offerings at this grade level have been few and far between over the years. Provenance: From a Collection of American Silver Classics. PCGS# 7042.
