Brilliant MS65 1879-CC Dollar, Normal Mintmark

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Normal Mintmark. It is widely believed that the rarity of the 1879-CC stems from widespread melting under authority of the Pittman Act of 1918. No record was kept of the coins melted, but there must have been several hundred thousand '79-CC dollars melted, judging from the paucity of Uncirculated coins that exist today out of the mintage of 756,000 pieces.
This is one of the few Gem examples available. The surfaces display the uncommonly pronounced mint frost that is usually seen on Carson City silver dollars. The central striking details are strong, but not quite complete. There are just a few tiny luster grazes present on each side. Brilliant throughout.(Registry values: P7, N4719)
