Description

1892-CC VAM-8 Morgan, MS65+
Better Date Branch Mint Issue

1892-CC $1 MS65+ PCGS. VAM-8. The date is set far right on VAM-8, and the 8 and 9 have die chips in the lower loops. Over 1.35 million pieces were struck in Carson City in 1892, and even though just one 1892-CC appeared in the GSA hoard, the issue has survived with plentiful numbers through MS64. However, Gem examples become challenging and pieces any finer are conditionally scarce. Richly lustrous devices on mostly brilliant surfaces are bordered with light touches of lavender on the edges, with the reverse including deeper hues of cobalt-blue. The reverse only shows a couple of small marks under the eagle's beak, otherwise the surfaces are pristine. The overall eye appeal is exceptional and easily justifies the Plus-grade from PCGS, which reports only 51 numerically finer pieces (8/25).(Registry values: P7, N2998)
From The Ramundo Collection of Morgan and Peace Dollars.
