This coin is an 1870 CC (Carson City mint) Silver Dollar, which has been graded XF 45 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), indicating that the coin is in Extra Fine condition. The obverse of the coin features the seated Liberty design, showcasing Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield with a 'Liberty' inscription and a staff topped with a liberty cap. The date '1870' is inscribed below Liberty, and the coin is surrounded by thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.

The reverse side features a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbols of war and peace. The phrase "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircles the top edge, with "ONE DOLL", the denomination, below. The striking CC mintmark, signifying the Carson City Mint, is found below the eagle's tail feathers and above the denomination.

The coin exhibits a well-detailed design consistent with its XF 45 grade, indicating light wear on the highest points of the design but retaining most of the original details. The overall patina and coloration suggest natural toning, which is often desirable among collectors.
