When I put together my 7070, I went for condition over rarity. The point of the album for me at least was to collect a representative example of each type coin represented in the album. I wanted the coins to have enough detail present that the major features of the coin were visible. I tried for at least VF condition and stuck to common dates to keep the cost down. It is still a challenging album to complete.

I would go for condition on that coin. When it comes time to sell a dealer is going to be more interested in a high condition coin that will have a lot more potential buyers from other type collectors than from a rarer date only of interest to specialists or people trying to collect Trade dollars by date an mint. Think about it. How many people do you know building 70970 sets, an how many building Trade dollar date and mint sets? |

I would use this 1875 s/cc as a down payment on a proof.    This was an ebay purchase from a quality seller that noted the cleaning but did not note the variety back in 2005. |

my recommendation is educating yourselfbefore buying one, lots of fakes out there, learn about the real ones AND the fakes and you will lessen your chances of ending up with a dollar sized piece of scrap metal

I agree that is what I have been doing lately and would stay away from ebay for that reason |

Very cool coin muddler does that make that coin more valuable or were errors back then more common? Quote:Posted - Yesterday : 1:56 pm I would use this 1875 s/cc as a down payment on a proof.

MikeBrax, The s/cc is the most noted variety listed for Trade dollars. It is just a small "c" to the right of the mint mark. From what I have read the San Francisco mint received a "cc" die that they doctored to become an "s" die. The coin has an unfortunate bag mark very near the ghost "c" but the die cracks running down from America are also a give away. It lists 3 or 4 times the value of a regular 1875 s. I have seen copies of 1875 s but not of this variety. Edited by muddler
