Appealing Choice AU 1879-CC Morgan Dollar

1879-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. The low-mintage 1879-CC Morgan dollar is an important key issue in the Carson City series, and the second-rarest of all CC-mint dates behind the 1889-CC. This piece is essentially untoned, with a level of wear across the devices that is not unexpected for the Choice AU designation. A few minor marks and hairlines are also noted on each side of the piece; but it seems reasonably attractive for the grade. (Registry values: P7, N991)
