The stars and legend host the most intense color, with olive, gold, and deep gray shades evident. WB-5, with a low date and large mintmark sloping down. Strike is typical, with weakness in the eagle’s left leg. Carson City coinage is among the most popular within the Liberty Seated series, featuring low production figures and evoking the milieu of the Old West. While San Francisco was a bustling port city, Carson City was a relative backwater in the Sierra Nevada range. Coinage was not easily produced and required a high degree of manual labor, as the silver ore was extracted and transported to the Mint only with great difficulty.
