Story
1876 was a monumental year for America—the nation's Centennial—and this coin was born in the heart of the Nevada desert during that historic celebration.
Maker / Origin
Christian Gobrecht, the third Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, designed the Seated Liberty motif which defined American silver coinage for over fifty years.
Condition & Value
The coin shows honest circulation wear consistent with a grade of Fine (F-12) to Very Fine (VF-20). The 'CC' mint mark significantly elevates this coin's value compared to common Philadelphia strikes.
