1877-CC Dime to go with Seated Half and Quarter

[Chris(SoCenWI)]

Hello All,

I went back to where I found the 1876 Seated Half last week. Only find today was this 1877-CC dime. So for year have one of three different denominations. It would be nice to pop out a Seated Half Dime before the year is up. Don't think a Seated dollar is likely. I don't recall in all my twenty years looking at finds in different forums that I've ever seen anyone post a Seated Dollar. Anybody remember one?

This is my 5th CC mint mark; just looked through my records and found out it is the second 1877-CC dime. The other is in much better condition than this one.

I was going to take a picture of the reverse side and paste obverse and reverse photos together, but need to learn a new photo editing software to do so. Maybe tomorrow.

Happy Hunting

You found a super hot spot! I found an area that produced a seated quarter & 2 dimes. Maybe a half will be next

Super nice find, I'd be happy with any seated coin, still on my bucket list.
Maybe I'd have better luck at a pawn shop?

That's awesome. I live in Nevada and haven't found a single CC coin. Jim

Any Seated any time in any condition is a great find and you found two in a weeks time! Good hunting.

Another nice find. CC? Any thoughts on why CC mint marks are being found in your area or that spot? If they have all come from the same spot. 5 CC coins is near amazing. HH jim tn

Congratulations on another great find!
I've read that during the Comstock Lode era, the silver barons put a lot of pressure on the US government to buy silver for the mint at healthy prices citing the need to get more coinage into circulation. Even though the Carson City Mint produced generally fewer coins, they were pretty widely "exported" to other states.
I've been lucky to find 3 seated dimes, one quarter, and a half. None with the coveted "CC" though. My wife has found the 76 & 77 Carson dimes here in Utah.
Any seated coin is a bucket lister in my opinion. You getting 5 CC's is incredible.

Congrats again.

Jim,

I've dug several O mint marks here in Tn along with D's and S's, but no CC. They seem to show up more in the western states. Good hunting. HH jim tn
