Description
1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS64
In an Old Green Holder
1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. After the well-known 1889-CC, the
1879-CC Morgan dollar is the scarcest date in the Carson City short
set in Mint State. The GSA sales yielded only 4,123 pieces, a
number paling in comparison to the high six-figure populations of
some later 1880s issues. When encountered, the typical Uncirculated
1879-CC grades in the MS62 to MS64 range. Finer examples are seldom
seen. This Choice representative is well-struck, with frosty luster
that shows just a hint of golden toning around the peripheries.
Abrasions are minimal, limited to a few tiny grazes on the cheek
and in the adjacent field. An outstanding coin, CAC-approved in an
old green label holder. We look forward to seeing to high-end MS64
coin cross the auction block.(Registry values: P7, N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 253T, PCGS# 7086, Greysheet# 7450)
