1870 2C, PR67BN PCGS Cert PageLarge TrueView ImageAbout this coin: Mintage of 1000 coins Red/Brown and Red designations command the higher prices but sometimes a coin designated as brown is quite spectacular. This is one of those times.  |

The first year of operation for the Carson City Mint!1870-CC 50C, MS64 PCGS Cert PageLarge TrueView ImageAbout this coin: This coin is an interesting example of how sometimes resubmitting to PCGS can pay off. I noticed in the TrueView image screen that the same coin had at one time been graded at MS61, however it's now been regraded as MS64. I'm not really surprised as MS61 seemed quite ridiculous to me. Here is the image that had been taken when it was graded at MS61 http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/26...002_2200.jpgIf you compare to the large image for the MS64 coin you'll see it is indeed the same coin. By the way, I think I prefer the slightly different image of the coin that was taken when graded MS61. I think they got a better angle and it's colors were captured better, especially the reverse. Oh and the difference in price according to PCGS? MS61 valued at $105,000 MS64 valued at $300,000

1870-S $1, AU58 Pedigree: Norweb-Stellar PCGS Cert PageLarge TrueView ImageAbout this coin: The 1870-S Silver Dollar is one of the most mysterious of all United States coins. It is one of the few instances where the Mint records give no indication that any were produced at all. Yet there are roughly a dozen examples whose very existence contradicts the official records. Most of the known examples are worn, indicating that mint employees produced a small run, and then placed the coins in circulation. Unfortunately, absent any direct evidence, no one can prove how many were made. However, the point is moot because the collector who seeks to complete a set of Silver Dollars has only the survivors from which to choose. In the case of the 1870-S Silver Dollar, the choices are few and far between. This coin is featured in the book 100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth. They have it listed as number 29 on the all time list. PCGS lists this coin with a guide price of $1,850,000  Edited by Tbone

@TBone,
That 1870-S is stunning. Is it the top pop of the survivors?
