Among the Finest Certified 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 Morgans

1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878 MS 66 PCGS. This is a thickly frosted Gem whose surfaces are unsurpassable in terms of technical quality. There are no singularly mentionable abrasions, and the left obverse field, in particular, is noteworthy for its smoothness. Both sides are untoned with razor sharp striking definition. In sum, this is a stellar representative of this scarcer 1880-CC variety. Population: 21 in 66, 0 finer (12/00).
