Reflective Gem 1879-CC Dollar

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Normal Mintmark. The Normal Mintmark variety of 1879-CC dollar is more available than the so-called Capped CC or Large Over Small Mintmark variety, created when a Carson City Mint worker tried to efface the too-small double C's and replace them with larger ones. Regardless of which variety is more available, popularity is the trump, and in any case both variants are quite elusive at the Gem level; bagmarks are usually the culprit.
This reflective Gem has pretty silver-gray coloration, with considerable contrast and reflectivity on each side, even if insufficient for a Prooflike designation. The luster is somewhat satiny, and relevant abrasions are few and consistent with the Gem grade. The reverse is particularly high-end, but both sides offer broad appeal. Population: 89 in 65, 2 finer (6/09).
