<B>1878-CC T$1 AU58 NGC.</B></I> The acquisition of an 1878-CC Trade dollar, regardless of grade, would be a memorable event for any collector of the series, primarily because it is the key date in the series and the available supply is severely limited. The 1878-CC boasts the lowest mintage of all the Trade dollars and, of the 17 different date and mintmark combinations, the only issue of which fewer than 100,000 pieces were struck. And of the 97,000 1878-CC dollars struck, approximately half were melted in July 1878 (Bowers, 1993). Bright mint luster surrounds the devices on each side and shines brightly through the golden-gray toning that is seen over each side. Sharply struck throughout, the only mark of note is on the lower reverse below the mintmark. Census: 10 in 58, 25 finer (3/08).<BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><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>)
