Snow-White Gem 1880-CC Dollar, MS66 PCGS

1880-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. Although Mint records indicate that 591,000 Morgan Dollars were produced at the Carson City Mint in 1880, not all coins were released. The Assay Commission ordered that the Nevada facility melt 96,000 '80-CC Dollars because their silver fineness was not on par with government standards. As a result, the net mintage for this issue is a mere 495,000 pieces. This coin is uncommonly well defined for this often poorly impressed issue. There is, however, some minor softness of detail over the central highpoints, and faint roller marks are noted in the same areas. The smooth, virtually distraction-free features are impressive for a CC-mint coin, and the already impressive eye appeal benefits further from a rich endowment of frosty luster. Conditionally desirable.(#7100) (Registry values: P4, N1793)
