1880-CC Morgan Dollar, MS66+
Seldom Encountered Finer

1880-CC $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. VAM-3. Due to a shortage of bullion, only 591,000 Morgan dollars were struck at the Carson City Mint in 1880 and 96,000 of those coins failed to meet government standards. The substandard coins were melted, reducing the mintage to a net figure of 495,000 pieces. Fortunately, the 1880-CC was well-represented in the GSA sales of the 1970s and the issue is readily available in high grade today. This Plus-graded Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements and the impeccably preserved brilliant surfaces are lustrous and appealing. PCGS has graded 37 numerically finer examples (3/20).(Registry values: P4, N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2542, PCGS# 7100, Greysheet# 7465)
