GSA Dollars
1878-CC $1 GSA MS66+ PCGS. The GSA auctions of the 1970s and 1980 dispersed a total of 47,567 1878-CC dollars in black plastic holders. An untold number of those coins were removed from their GSA holders during the late 20th century for submission to third-party grading services. The nicer the coin, the more likely it was that its GSA holder would be cracked open. The present essentially brilliant example was left undisturbed, and is presently the single finest graded 1878-CC GSA dollar by PCGS. It is fully struck and thoroughly lustrous. The obverse field and the sweet spot of the cheek are practically pristine. Population: 2 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (11/16).
