1875-CC Trade Dollar C-15 Very Wide CC *R.7 variety* PCGS Cleaned - AU Details

Description: This is a most intriguing (and extremely rare) variety. For some years, collectors had known that a small, very widely-spaced CC mint mark appeared on a limited number of Carson City trade dollars struck in 1873, 1874, and 1876. All 3 were scarce to rare, presenting an interesting collecting challenge for the variety enthusiast to complete the set. Strangely, this mint mark style did not appear at all on 1875-CC trade dollars, or so everyone thought! Then in 2016, the very first 1875-CC trade dollar with the very wide CC was found, proving that the same reverse die had, in fact, been used sparingly to strike coins during every year from 1873 to 1876! Dedicated trade dollar collectors scrambled to find their own example of the newly-discovered 1875-CC variety in order to complete the 4 year set. Not surprisingly, the 1875-CC very wide CC (designated C-15 by trade dollar variety specialist John Cox) has proven to be the rarest of the group, by far. In the intervening 8 years since its discovery, only 4 additional examples of this R.7 variety have been found (including the example offered here). Of the known examples, only one is straight-graded (a PCGS VF30); the rest are details coins. Of the latter, the coin offered here is the only one certified as AU detail (the others are XF detail), so it is "top pop" of the details specimens, so to speak. Why is the 1875-CC very wide CC so much rarer than the other three dates? As in any group of coins, the current survivorship is determined by the original mintage as well as the number that have been destroyed. It may be that fewer very wide CC coins were minted in 1875 than in other years, or that disproportionately more of them were melted or otherwise destroyed over time (or a combination of both). In the case of trade dollars, many were melted after reaching China. At the same time, trade dollars were not favored by the contemporary American public, so many of the coins that stayed in the U.S. were also melted after being returned to the treasury to be redeemed. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own one of the rarest and most interesting varieties in the trade dollar series - a must have in order to complete the 4 date, very wide CC set! *Please note that this coin was submitted to PCGS before they began attributing the variety, so the variety is not noted on the label.*
