Silver Dollar, 1879-CC (Perfect Mintmark), NGC MS 65 CAC
A splendid example, with a few marks on Liberty’s cheek and a thin short scratch in front of her face noted for identification. Lovely, hard and frosty fields. Attractive pale honey obverse toning, with an arc of blue green through the obverse legend; the reverse with pale peripheral toning at the dentils. A date which Wayne Miller noted as being “one of the most difficult of the Carson City Morgan dollars to obtain in gem condition.” Bowers also noted that these were even “[r]are in their own time.”
