1881-CC Silver Dollar, MS68
First Choice for Carson City Type

1881-CC $1 MS68 NGC. The low mintage of 296,000 pieces is deceiving, since virtually all of the mintage was stored at the U.S. Treasury in Washington, DC for 70+ years until released off and on throughout the 1950s into the mid-1960s. Probably 90% of the coins survive, with about two-thirds of those in Mint State.

Few, however, have survived in the condition of this Superb Gem example. One of just eight coins certified MS68 by PCGS and NGC combined -- with none finer -- this exceptional representative is essentially flawless (3/14). Brilliant, frost-white surfaces emit waves of silver luster. Fully struck devices display frosted and immaculate details. The epitome of quality for the date and a Registry Set must.
