Owner's Description
Winter Variety 1-A. Considerably rarer than its 1880-CC predecessor, the 1881-CC is an elusive Carson City issue from a meager mintage of 13,886 pieces. A single die pair is known, identified by a rising die line through the ER in LIBERTY. The current example has strong cartwheel effect, particularly on the reverse, in spite of the dull, grainy luster that is prevalent for this issue. The strike is softer than in surrounding years, with weakness on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s neck. The color is green-gold with coppery orange highlights. Purchased from Doug Winter.
