Description

Delightful 1879-CC Dollar, MS65

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. An uncommonly well-preserved example of this Carson City issue with eye appeal to match. Bold cartwheel luster shines on each side. The central devices are strongly struck, and the portrait offers a rich layer of creamy frost. Minimally toned save for a few dots of light gray. Though this issue has a higher mintage than several of its CC-mint peers, over three-quarters of a million pieces, it was not as well-represented in the GSA holdings as other issues and is more elusive in Mint State as a consequence. PCGS has graded a mere two coins finer (6/10).
