Morgan Dollars
1878-CC $1 MS66+ PCGS. VAM-9, CC Tilted Right. Curious die lines in the reverse fields quickly identify this frequently seen VAM variety. As a date, the 1878-CC Morgan dollar is available in MS66 but exceedingly rare any finer. It is more plentiful in MS66 and finer grades than the various Philadelphia issues of 1878, but it is significantly scarcer than the 1878-S. Within the context of the Carson City short set, the 1878-CC is a better date and among the more challenging to acquire in Gem or better condition.
This high-end Premium Gem showcases frosty, radiant mint luster and a bold strike. A few tiny grazes on the cheek are all that prevent an even finer grade, although they are invisible to the naked eye at most angles. The visual appeal generated by this VAM-9 coin easily surpasses that of many other Premium Gems. PCGS has seen six finer representatives (4/17).
