Description

1880/79-CC Morgan Dollar
MS64+ Deep Mirror Prooflike
VAM-4, A Top 100 Variety

1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878, VAM-4, MS64+ Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A Top 100 Variety. The 79 is prominently seen under the 80, the 1 has a die chip at the top right of the shaft, and the first 8 has vertical polishing marks inside the loops. The parallel arrow fletching with the bottom arrow facing downward identifies the Reverse of 1878. This spectacular Morgan is sharply struck on frosty design elements that contrast boldly with the deeply reflective fields. Surface marks are scattered and define the grade but an impressive cartwheel effect produces outstanding eye appeal and earns the Plus designation. PCGS reports only 52 Deep Mirror Prooflike pieces, of which only four are graded finer than this near-Gem example (8/25).
