Description

1879-CC GSA Morgan Silver Dollar. Clear CC. MS-61 (NGC). CAC.

Subtle pale silver tinting is seen over both sides of this boldly impressed Morgan dollar. Otherwise frosty in finish, the fields are modestly semi-reflective. The low mintage 1879-CC was produced to the extent of just 756,000 pieces, and it is generally regarded as the scarcest Carson City Mint silver dollar of the 1878 to 1885 era. Much of this issue's elusiveness in today's market can be explained by the paucity of examples distributed through the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980. Only 4,123 examples were included in those sales, just 0.50% of the mintage. Rare in an original GSA holder, this appealing coin is sure to appeal to advanced Morgan dollar and Carson City Mint enthusiasts. The original box is included, but not the card.

PCGS# 518848. NGC ID: 253T.
