<B>1875-S/CC T$1 MS63 NGC.</B></I> VP-001. FS-501, formerly FS-012.5. Type One Reverse. The more obvious of the two 1875-S/CC varieties, the presence of the C mintmark to the right of the S is irrefutable. David Bowers (1993) writes: "This issue was generally unknown to numismatists until the early 1960s. One of the earliest market appearances of the variety was in New Netherlands Coin Company's sale of December 10-11, 1963." Bowers go on to say: "In 1962-3, the 1875-S/CC overmintmark was considered to be a great rarity, but over a period of time additional specimens came to light. Today it is considered to be moderately scarce in lower grades and quite rare in Mint State."<BR> The lustrous surfaces of this select specimen display electric-blue, lavender, and gray-tan toning, and just a few minor ticks that limit the grade. An impressive strike brings out sharp definition on the design features. Census: 3 in 63, 4 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Barber<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
