Description
1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS65+
Semiprooflike and Conditionally Scarce
1879-CC $1 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: JCS Collection. Many 1879-CC
Morgan dollars were paid out into circulation in the 19th century,
although hundreds of thousands of coins went into long-term
storage, eventually being shipped to the San Francisco Mint and
Washington D.C. The fate of most of these coins was likely the
Pittman Act melts that followed 1918. Several bags of surviving
coins were paid out in the 1950s and later, although much of the
Mint State population known today likely came from the GSA sales of
the 1970s, where the last of the government's holdings of 1879-CC
dollars -- 4,123 coins -- was dispersed.Today, the 1879-CC is the second-scarcest Carson City issue from this mint. It is particularly elusive in MS65 and just six finer non-Prooflike coins are reported at PCGS (7/19). This Plus-graded, CAC-approved Gem displays impressively sharp, frosty devices set against brilliant, semiprooflike fields. Only a few small marks in the left obverse field prevent an even finer grade. CAC: 39 in 65, 0 finer (7/19).
