Reflective Gem 1879-CC Morgan Dollar

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Perfect Mintmark. The first in the run of difficult mintmarked (and some without mintmark) issues in this hugely popular series, and the first in the great trio of CC-mint rarities. This piece at the Gem level is essentially unimprovable, as NGC and PCGS combined have certified a maximum of three pieces finer (12/09). This coin actually has considerable prooflikeness, although undesignated as such by PCGS. The silver-white surfaces lack any suggestion of color, but the reflective fields and thickly frosted devices set up marvelous contrast. Liberty's cheek is remarkably pristine, and abrasions elsewhere are insignificant. A fine coin for a top-notch Morgan dollar collection.(Registry values: P7, N4719)
