Lot Description

Exceptional quality and eye appeal for this semi-key date CC-Mint Morgan dollar. Brilliant on the reverse with intense mint luster, the equally lustrous obverse is thinly veiled in antique silver iridescence. Both sides have sharp strike detail that extends to the central high points. With remarkable surface preservation, this is a condition rarity Gem Mint State coin that will appeal to advanced enthusiasts.<p><p>Produced to the extent of just 756,000 pieces and not as widely saved as the Carson City Mint silver dollars from the early to mid 1880s, the 1879-CC is eagerly sought in all Mint State grades. Only 4,123 were distributed through the GSA sales of the 1970s, representing just 0.50% of the mintage. Regardless of origin, Mint State examples of the 1879-CC encountered in today's market are seldom as carefully preserved and visually appealing as this lovely Gem.<p><p>
