Lot Description

1881-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 PL (PCGS). An exceptional Top Pop example from this coveted Carson City issue. Considerable prooflike reflectivity shimmers in the fields, undoubtedly approaching a DMPL designation for the tremendous contrast. The devices are richly frosted and free of any significant distractions. At MS-67 PL (PCGS), this piece is tied at the very top of the PCGS Population reports for this category. An irresistible offering for advanced Registry Set enthusiasts. After only the 1885-CC, the 1881-CC boasts the lowest mintage among Morgan dollars from the fabled Nevada branch mint. Nearly half of the mintage -- 147,485 coins out of 296,000 examples struck, or 49.6% to be precise -- remained in government holding until distributed to collectors through the various GSA sales of the 1970s. PCGS Population: 2; none finer. PCGS# 7127. NGC ID: 2547. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
