1871-CC Seated Liberty Dime

USA Coin Book

The 1871-CC Seated Liberty Dime is a numismatic rarity and a product of the Carson City Mint. Carson City, Nevada, was known for minting coins during the 19th century, and the Seated Liberty Dime from 1871 is particularly noteworthy. The Seated Liberty Dime features Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield with a liberty pole.

The “CC” mintmark on the reverse indicates its origin. The 1871-CC is scarce, with a low mintage, partly due to the economic challenges of the time. Surviving examples are highly sought after by collectors, and their rarity contributes to their value.
