Charming Gem 1879-CC Morgan Dollar

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. While its mintage of more than three-quarters of a million pieces is larger than that of multiple following Carson City Morgan dollar issues, the 1879-CC was not as well-represented in GSA holdings as those later dates, and so it is a more elusive date to find in Mint State today. The population curve effectively tops out at Gem, as PCGS has certified just two coins finer (6/10). This MS65 example has frosted devices and bold cartwheel luster beneath toning that ranges from pale silver to nearly opaque gold, the latter hue mostly at the lower reverse.(Registry values: P7, N4719)
