1876-CC Seated Liberty Dime — Fair (FR)
A historic 1876-CC Seated Liberty Dime, struck at the Carson City Mint and designed by Christian Gobrecht. The obverse features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and liberty pole, with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” surrounding the design. The reverse displays “ONE DIME” within a wreath, with the “CC” mint mark below the bow.
This example is graded Fair (FR), showing heavy circulation wear with substantial loss of detail, while the date, mint mark, and major design elements remain identifiable. Struck in 90% silver, the 1876-CC is an interesting Carson City issue and a desirable addition to a collection of classic U.S. silver coinage.
