1879-CC GSA Morgan Silver Dollar. Clear CC. MS-64 (NGC).
This is a lovely example of one of the more challenging Carson City Mint Morgan dollar issues to locate in an original GSA holder. Brilliant and boldly struck, the silver-white surfaces allow full appreciation of intense mint luster. 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, a total that represents just 0.50% of the mintage. Scarce in Choice Mint State, and rare in an original GSA holder, this premium example is sure to catch the eye of advanced Morgan dollar and/or Carson City Mint enthusiasts. The original box is included, but not the card.
