Have you ever seen a Carson City with only one C

Looking at this underweight coin with only one C and I am curios, experts what do you think happened to this coin?

I am no expert on Trade Dollars but it looks to be a contemporary counterfeit.

One year issue from the Charlotte mint.....

Yes. Grease filled die.

As for that coin... I'd look more at the shape of the C

I only see one C at a time anyhow!

But it does look like the type one reverse........plus at 27g isn't that within tolerances?

It does not look like a counterfeit nor a grease strike. Take a look at the closeups, it was scratched off purposefully.

The top of the obverse suggest a cast copy to me.

Fake. Second C scratched off so that it would absolutely be questioned if sold.

I didn't say it was a grease-filled die. I said I have seen a single C coin which was a grease-filled die. That was the question posed by the OP.

That one looks as if it has been altered... either intentionally or a weird PMD. Cheers, RickO

Its not underweight. Trade dollars weigh 27.2 grams. This one weighs 27. Its within tolerance and it has probably 2 tenths of a gram worth of wear.

Probably an altered genuine coin.

I've got about a half of a C here

the only error here would be if someone bought this
