Introducción de monedas
It's not certain why trade dollar production was suspended for the year after April, leaving the 1876-CC issue with just a third the mintage of 1875. One possibility is the tremendous advance in the coining of fractional silver coins that year. The number of dimes, quarters and halves had hitherto been fairly modest at the Carson City Mint, but the Specie Resumption Act passed in 1875 provided for the retirement of the unpopular fractional paper notes with silver coins. Mintages of these three denominations rose dramatically during 1876-77 in response. Whatever the reason for its early suspension, the 1876-CC trade dollar has become a somewhat scarce issue in all grades. Examples in the lower Mint State grades are available from time to time, but coins approaching the gem level are quite rare. This is the most difficult CC trade dollar to locate in high grades. Since it was coined only during the opening months of 1876, it's not surprising that this issue is unknown with the new Type 2 obverse. Both reverse types have been confirmed, with Type 1 examples being the scarcer of the two varieties. Three different mintmark sizes are known for this date, each corresponding to different batches of dies delivered in this and previous years. While these are of interest to specialists, by far the most desirable variety is a spectacular doubled-die reverse that is most easily seen as a duplicated olive branch on a Type 1 reverse.Leer más
