Morgan Dollars
1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-4, showing the second C in the mintmark lightly recut on the left inside. This is a frequently seen variety within the better-date 1879-CC issue. The '79-CC is the second-rarest date in the Carson City short set, trailing only the 1889-CC. Gem examples are seldom offered, and finer pieces are extremely rare. Recent offerings of the 1879-CC in Gem condition have easily exceeded $20,000.
Most of the MS65 coins that we have handled over the years have been brilliant or nearly so, and we have seen a few pieces with mottled toning. This colorful coin is a refreshing exception. The interiors are the traditional light golden hue, but the borders yield amber, violet, and sky-blue toning. The strike is sharp and the surfaces display original, frosty luster with semiprooflike mirroring in the fields. Eye appeal is outstanding. PCGS lists only three finer examples (6/17).
