Interested In The Attribution Of This PCGS Certed 1875-CC Trade.

I am not an expert, but did some research. There are two varieties of the 1875-CC Trade identified by Breen. The more common one is B-5796 which has the Type I obverse and reverse. This appears to be an example of B-5796.

David Bowers went further and lists three varieties of the Type I/I 1875-CC coins. One has a medium CC mintmark and two varieties have a tall CC mintmark. One of the tall CC mintmark reverses has a widely spaced mintmark and this coin appears to be a coin of this variety. An example with a mintmark similar to your is here: https://coins.ha.com/itm/trade-doll...ption-071515

More recently last year, John Coxe just published "The United States Trade dollar Challenge 50 Set." In this 50 Trade dollar variety tome, Coxe lists just one 1875-CC trade variety - the 1875-CC small wide CC (C-15). Apparently there is a wide CC variety with a small mintmark, but I haven't been able to locate any pictures of a coin with this designation.

Hope this helps.

Kind of a blurry comparison, but I'm sure you 're right.

Unfortunately, I don't own the Coxe reference but found the 50 Trade dollar varieties he catalogued in the pictures below. Only one of the 50 varieties he identified was for the 1875-CC. The book likely has illustrations of the new variety.

PCGS is doing Coxe variety attributions and the page for the C-15 variety is here but there is no link with pictures to any coin having received that attribution: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...-wide/928869
