Memorable Gem Prooflike 1879-CC Morgan Dollar

1879-CC $1 MS65 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Normal Mintmark. A memorable example of this second-year rarity in the Carson City Morgan dollar series, and second in rarity only behind the 1889-CC issue among CC-mint dollars. Many examples of the 1879-CC show prooflikeness on one side, but few qualify for a Prooflike designation by displaying the trait on both sides. The current population data show less than a dozen certified Prooflike at NGC and PCGS combined, and there are no finer Prooflikes certified (7/08).
This piece offers marvelous silver-white surfaces, with the coveted black-on-white contrast between frosted devices and well mirrored fields. There are few abrasions of any significance noted. A memorable coin for a fine collection of Morgans.(Registry values: P7, N7079)
