Lot Description

Incredible Superb Gem 1880-CC Morgan Dollar 8/7, Reverse of 1878 Tied for Finest Certified by PCGS 1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-7. 8/7. Reverse of 1878. MS-67 (PCGS). An awe-inspiring Superb Gem that belongs in the finest collection of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars. Fully impressed from the dies, both sides exhibit razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements. The same strike imparted billowy mint frost to the surfaces, which have come down to the present day remarkably close to pristine for a CC-mint Morgan of any date or variety. Brilliant apart from the lightest pale silver tinting that is a bit more prevalent on the reverse. Truly remarkable quality and eye appeal from a mintage of just 495,000 coins, which total, when combined with the allure of the double C mintmark, had made the 1880-CC one of the most eagerly sought issues in this series. Beautiful! PCGS Population: 3; none finer. PCGS# 7110. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
