Description

1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS65
Frosty and Attractive

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Only 765,000 1879-CC dollars were struck, and most of these coins were either released into circulation or were later melted after passage of the Pittman Act of 1918, making this one of the scarcest and most desirable of all Carson City Morgan dollars. The GSA sales provided 4,123 pieces previously unknown to collectors, and those coins represent the majority of the known Mint State pieces today. This "Perfect Mintmark" variety is brilliant throughout and shows sparkling mint luster. The fields are bright and semiprooflike with heavily frosted devices. Very few abrasions are seen on either side of this solid Gem.
