Coveted 1879-CC Silver Dollar, MS64

1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Although the 1879-CC participated in the GSA auctions, there were far fewer to be had than the other Carson City issues struck prior to its 1885 coinage hiatus. Unlike the CC-mint issues from the 1880s, the '79-CC was primarily released into circulation. The present near-Gem is an exception, since it has dazzling luster along with a powerful strike. The minimally toned fields are well preserved, and the cheek has only moderate grazes.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
