Morgan Dollars
1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. The second rarest of all Carson City Morgan dollars, the 1879-CC offers two major varieties to collectors, the Large CC Mintmark and the Large over Small CC mintmark. Because Mint workmen attempted to remove the small mintmark before punching the larger mintmark in the die, that variety has a rather unsightly mintmark that many collectors dislike. Therefore, the Normal CC variety, as offered here, is the more popular choice. It is also more plentiful, good news for collectors who like to cherrypick for quality. The present example is a good choice for those quality-minded collectors, exhibiting delicate gold toning on the obverse, with rich golden-brown and sky-blue toning on the reverse.
