Description

1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS65
Elusive Branch Mint Key Date

1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Normal mintmark. A thin band of gold toning surrounds the obverse, while the reverse adds a blue crescent along the lower-right quadrant. Frosted surfaces are otherwise snow-white and awash with cartwheel silver luster. A graze on the neck point is exceedingly minor, while any remaining wispy marks are of no concern whatsoever. Rare from its moment of mintage due to a lack of silver bullion at the Carson City Mint, the 1879-CC is a significant challenge to locate in full Gem condition and virtually unobtainable any finer. This CAC-endorsed example will enhance the finest Morgan dollar collection. PCGS reports only 6 numerically finer submissions, plus 14 coins in 65+. CAC: 37 in 65, 1 finer (3/22).(Registry values: P7, N4719)

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