LOW Hanging Fruit

LOWBALL EXAMPLES FOR EACH OF THE 10 COINS PRODUCED AT THE CC MINT. THERE WERE SEVEN SILVER AND THREE GOLD ISSUES RELEASED BETWEEN 1870 AND 1893

Footnote #1 (TWENTY CENT PIECE)
The twenty cent piece was only run for two years at the CC Mint: 1875 and 1876, the later of which is for the most part nonexistent due to its low mintage of only 10,000. Approx 15 examples have been found, with none of those in a circulated status. This 1875-CC Top Pop 1 beauty is the only known PO01 for the CC Mint twenty cent coin series.

Footnote #2 (LIBERTY SEATED DOLLAR)
Absolutely the rarest of the seven silver issuances of the CC Mint. This dollar was an NGC crossover and is now the only seated dollar graded FR02. No PO01 examples exist at this time.

Footnote #3 (TRADE DOLLAR)
Not a single CC Trade Dollar had ever been found or made in PO01. Only two existed in FR02. Even more unusual is the fact that in the brief six year period in which the CC Mint produced trade dollars, 1874 is arguably the most difficult year to find lowball examples. Until this 1874-CC PO01 was recently found and graded by HOF "Sourdough", the lowest graded 1874 CC trade dollar prior was a VG10.

Footnote #4 (GOLD ISSUES)
There was a total mintage of less than two million for all CC Mint 'Liberty Head' gold coins combined ($5.00, $10.00 and $20.00). Only 16% of that total were $10.00 gold eagles, making them the most scarce of the three gold types. (IE no PO01 or FR02 examples have been found or made) That being said, the $20.00 gold piece is possibly even rarer as the AG03 example in this Set stands alone as the only CC Mint double eagle ever graded below G6

The $5 Gold example in this Set is not only the lowest graded half eagle, but holds the lofty position of Top Pop 1 for all CC Mint gold issues of any denomination or any year.
