Description

Impressive 1878-CC Morgan Dollar
MS66, Housed in GSA Holder

1878-CC $1 MS66 NGC. The first Carson City Morgan dollars were struck in 1878, and that initial issue has the second-highest mintage among CC-mint Morgan issues, behind only the 1890-CC. Still, MS66 pieces are elusive and anything finer is a condition rarity. This is an attractive Premium Gem representative, frosty over the devices with reflective (though not strictly Prooflike) fields. Light gray toning overall shows a hint of gold, and though a few small digs are present on the eagle, the obverse is wonderfully preserved. Band-certified in the black GSA holder of issue with outer box, but no certificate; it is the single finest non-Prooflike 1878-CC GSA dollar so certified in a hard case (11/09).
From The Classic Collection.(Registry values: P4, N2998)
