<B>1870-CC 50C --Corroded--ANACS. AU50 Details.</B></I> In its first year of operation, the Carson City Mint struck three silver denominations: the quarter, half dollar, and dollar. The 1870-CC has a mintage more than double that of the quarter and dollar combined, but the survival rate was remarkably low, particularly when compared with the 1870-CC silver dollar. Apparently, no one, not even local Mint officials or workers, appreciated the significance of the issue sufficiently to set examples aside. As of (5/07), NGC and PCGS have each certified only one piece as Mint State, both as MS62. In terms of sharpness, the present lot is close to Mint State, but the slate-gray surfaces are subdued and granular. The fields have only a few minor marks.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
