1879-CC Dollar, Frosty MS64
Carson City Semikey

1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Normal Mintmark. The 1879-CC serves as one of the semikey Carson City issues in the Morgan dollar series. It claims a mintage of 756,000 coins but survives in high grades to a much lesser degree than other Nevada mint issues from the early to mid 1880s. The scarcity of Gem Uncirculated 1879-CC dollars places considerable pressure on Choice representatives like this one.

Both sides are fully brilliant with impressively vibrant, frosty luster. The hair strands over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers exhibit bold detail. Small bagmarks are lightly peppered across the obverse but are much less prevalent on the reverse.(Registry values: P7, N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 253T, PCGS# 7086, Greysheet# 7450)
