1879-CC GSA Dollar, MS65+
Rare in High Grade
NGC Certified

1879-CC $1 GSA MS65+ NGC. CAC. VAM-4. VAM-4 is the "Doubled Right C in Mint Mark" variety. The second C is lightly repunched below the upper curve. The semikey 1879-CC dollar is elusive in a GSA holder, as a majority of such pieces were "broken out" of their encasement during the early years of third-party grading. Higher-graded examples were particularly likely to be reholdered. A larger audience of collectors has arisen for NGC-certified GSA dollars; this piece was formerly graded by PCGS as MS65+, but is now certified as an NGC MS65+. This lustrous and brilliant Gem has a strong strike and displays only slight signs of contact. An important opportunity for the GSA specialist. Census: 14 in 65 (4 in 65+), 0 finer (6/23).
