Silver Dollar, 1880-CC (reverse of 1878), PCGS MS 66
A remarkably well struck example with attractively frosted surfaces and unusually free of any disfiguring marks. The obverse overdate exhibits only the faintest shadow of the 7, the reverse shows faint evidence of die clashing. By far the rarer of the two major varieties, Bowers observed that only about 10 to 20 percent of the known mint state examples are from this reverse; his comments are confirmed by the PCGS and NGC population reports.
