Fantastic Gem 1879-CC Morgan Dollar

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. In its second year of production at the Carson City Mint, the mintage for Morgan dollars plunged from over 2.2 million coins to just over three-quarters of a million pieces. While a low mintage alone is not sufficient to guarantee an issue's rarity (the 1885-CC Morgan dollar is perhaps the best example of this), the 1879-CC also has a poor survival rate that makes it one of the chase issues in the series. This well-defined piece offers strong, swirling luster with delightful frostiness on the central devices. Subtle golden tints overall with occasional elements of silver-gray and small dots of deeper toning. PCGS has graded a mere two finer representatives (6/08).(Registry values: P7, N4719)
