1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-6. Top 100 Variety. 8/Low 7. MS-66+ (PCGS).

This frosty and beautiful Gem is untoned with the delightful silver white appearance that Morgan dollar enthusiasts find so appealing. Sharp striking detail is noteworthy for a CC-mint issue that is often noticeably blunt in the centers, and the level of surface preservation is nothing short of outstanding. The popular 1880-CC Morgan dollar is more readily obtainable in Mint State than a limited mintage of 495,000 pieces might imply, many coins remaining in government vaults for decades until distributed to collectors through the various GSA sales of the 1970s. As with all Carson City Mint issues in this series, however, the 1880-CC is scarce to rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here. The 1880-CC is also known for a number of interesting overdates, VAM-6 offered here the 8/Low 7 Guide Book variety.
