Description
Unsurpassable Prooflike 1880-CC VAM-6 Dollar
Popular 8/Low 7 Top 100 Variety
1880-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-6. Top 100 Variety. 8/Low 7. MS-66+ PL (PCGS).
This sharply struck, fully untoned beauty allows full appreciation of strong reflectivity in the fields. The devices, however, are set apart with a thick, billowy, satin to softly frosted texture. The latter are also fully struck, and all areas are carefully preserved and approach Superb Gem quality. 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 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. The collector of ultimate Prooflike Morgan dollars has only this coin and one other to choose from for the 1880-CC VAM-6 in a PCGS holder. Remarkable!
PCGS# 7105. NGC ID: 2542.
PCGS Population: 2; 0 finer in this category.
