Description

1881-CC Silver Dollar, MS68
Tied for Finest Known

1881-CC $1 MS68 NGC. The 1881-CC Morgan dollar's overall availability in Mint State owes itself to the distribution of the GSA sales of the 1970s, which released more than 147,000 pieces. Examples are plentiful through MS66, and are only marginally scarce in MS67. However, this piece is conditionally rare in MS68. NGC lists only four coins this fine (one of which is star designated), and PCGS reported only five; all are non-Prooflike pieces, and no coins are numerically finer (7/22). This piece displays frosty, radiant mint luster across fully brilliant surfaces. Liberty's cheek is pristine, and only a couple of small, faint grazes in the obverse field prevent an even finer designation. Census: 3 in 68 (1 in 68 ), 0 finer (7/22).
