1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. Clear CC. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.；Premium Choice quality for this key date issue in the popular and widely collected Carson City Mint Morgan dollar series. Sharply struck with a bold satin texture, the devices offer appreciable contrast to modestly reflective fields. Indeed, the finish on both sides is semi-prooflike, which feature provides exceptionally strong eye appeal relative to the assigned grade. Otherwise brilliant, a crescent of iridescent champagne-gold toning lines the left reverse border. <p>The 1879-CC is the rarest Carson City Mint Morgan dollar of the 1878 to 1885 era. Of the 756,000 pieces produced, circulated pieces are the norm. Most Mint State examples emerged from storage in the Treasury Department Building in Washington, D.C. during the early to mid 1950s, or were included in the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980, from which came 4,123 1879-CC dollars. With relatively few coins to match it in terms of both surface quality and eye appeal, this premium MS-64+ is worthy of careful consideration and a strong bid.
