1879-CC Silver Dollar, MS64
CAC Endorsed

1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1879-CC is the second scarcest Carson City issue in Mint State, following, of course, the 1889-CC. A significant portion of the surviving population comes from the GSA sales of the early 1970s, where 4,123 pieces were distributed. The current coin is CAC endorsed, with frost-white luster and a hint of field reflectivity. Scattered small grazes in the luster are all that deny Gem classification. Only a touch of strike softness is seen on the eagle's breast feathers and the hair above Liberty's ear. CAC-approved 1879-CC dollars are scarce in this grade, and only 37 are reported finer (3/22).(Registry values: P7, N2998)
