Description

Fully Struck 1879-CC Dollar, MS63

1879-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. This "Perfect Mintmark" example is untoned and shows the usually expected thick mint frost over each side. The striking details are complete, a result of the precise positioning of the dies in the Carson City Mint. This precision caused the dies to wear faster, but quality of the coins in most years is superior to the other mints. A few light abrasions are scattered over each side, which explain the grade.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
