1876-CC T$1 MS62 NGC. Type I Obverse / Type I Reverse. Micro CC. Breen-5804. According to both Breen and Bowers, the mintmark on the 1876-CC Micro CC measures 0.74 millimeters, with 1.2 millimeters between the two letters. The spacing on the present example conforms with these figures, but the mintmark height is actually 1.1 millimeters. We stress, however, the we have never seen a CC-mint Trade Dollar with a smaller mintmark, nor has the consignor. As such, we are confident that this coin is an example of the Micro CC variety, which Breen (1988) describes as "Ex. rare." The author also speculates that this reverse die was a holdover from the 1874-CC delivery. This BU quality survivor combines an untoned obverse with a lightly patinated, golden-gray reverse. The overall striking definition is sharp, and the grade is limited by scattered bagmarks. According to the consignor, this coin is the highest graded example of the 1876-CC Micro CC. Since NGC and PCGS combined report just 13 '76-CC Trade Dollars finer, and given the rarity of the Type I Obverse / Type I Reverse hub variety, it is unlikely that this conclusion is incorrect.From the Andy Geosits Collection of Trade Dollars.
