1879-CC Perfect Dies Dollar, MS64 PCGS

1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Perfect Dies. The 1879-CC is by far the scarcest of the early Carson City Dollars. Only 756,000 pieces were struck, and survivors are scarce in all grades, especially Mint State. This is a fully brilliant example that has the usually-seen thick Carson City Mint luster. The fields are bright with a prooflike obverse and a satiny reverse. The striking details are good, but not quite complete over the ear of Liberty and on the eagle's breast. The surfaces are unusually clean for a Carson City Dollar and also for an 1879-CC, which is known for excessive bagmarks.(#7086) (Registry values: P7, N2998)
