Description

1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS65
Normal Mintmark, One Finer at NGC

1879-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Normal Mintmark. This is both the more plentiful and the more popular of the two major varieties for the 1879-CC Morgan dollar. The other is the Large CC over Small CC variety. The issue as a whole claims a mintage of 756,000 coins and an average certified grade of only XF40. This is an outstanding Gem survivor that ranks among the best most collectors could ever hope to obtain. The surfaces are completely brilliant and awash in swirling mint frost. Boldly struck with a clean cheek and similarly well-preserved fields. NGC Census: 50 in 65 (6 in 65+, 1 in 65?), 1 finer (12/25).
