Description

1878-CC $1 --60 Degrees Clockwise Rotated Dies--MS65 PCGS. A Gem Carson City dollar is a numismatic prize, even when encountered with usual coin turn. The present example, however, has a reverse rotated more than 60 degrees clockwise, relative to the obverse, an uncommon event regardless of the facility of origin. This is a highly lustrous piece with a sharp strike, smooth fields, and peripheral butter-gold toning.
