Description
1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS64
Challenging Issue
1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. The 1879-CC Morgan dollar boasts a
small mintage of 756,000 pieces. The date is the second most
difficult Carson City Morgan dollar to locate, after the 1889-CC.
While near-Gem specimens can be found with patience, Gem examples
are quite scarce. Two basic mintmark styles were produced in 1879,
with the present coin representing the more available "perfect" or
Large CC.The present coin displays mostly brilliant surfaces, with a few areas of hazy gray on the reverse. No mentionable marks can be detected on the bright, semiprooflike fields. The striking details are sharp, but not quite full. Overall visual appeal is strong. Q. David Bowers considers MS64 the Optimal Collecting Grade for this issue.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
