Lot Description

Stunning Premium Gem 1880/79-CC Morgan Dollar Tied for Finest Certified by NGC 1880/79-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-4. Top 100 Variety. Reverse of 1878. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. An essentially pristine Carson City Morgan dollar that ranks among the finest survivors known. It is intensely frosty and platinum-white, with uniform luster blanketing both sides. The centers exhibit impressive definition for the issue and the digits of the underdate remain distinct. A gorgeous upper end Gem that will appeal to the most discerning Morgan specialist. Desirable as a low mintage Carson City Mint Morgan dollar, the 1880-CC has a mintage of just 495,000 pieces, 131,529 examples of which were distributed through the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980. While the VAM-4, 5 and 6 overdates were well represented in these sales, the quality of the present 1880/79-CC is superior to that of nearly every other example known. It is among the finest known to PCGS in the non-PL category. PCGS Population: 19; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 7108. NGC ID: AP7P. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
