- An exquisite Superb Gem, both sides are fully frosted in finish with a virtually brilliant snow white appearance. Only along the upper right obverse border is a tinge of the lightest iridescent gold toning evident. The strike is razor sharp throughout, a feature not always seen on 1880-CC dollars of the Reverse of 1879 hub variety. Silky smooth in texture and all but pristine, this delightful coin will please even the most discerning Carson City Mint and/or Morgan dollar enthusiast.<p>As a Carson City Mint issue with a low mintage of 495,000 pieces (net after melting), the 1880-CC Morgan dollar has always been popular with collectors. Thanks to the widespread distribution of examples during the 1950s, early to mid 1960s and, especially, through the various GSA sales of the 1970s, the 1880-CC is readily obtainable in Mint State. Most such pieces are of the Reverse of 1879 hub variety, as here, and most grade no finer than MS-65. Even so, the persistent collector should be able to obtain an MS-66 without too much difficulty. Superb Gems in MS-67 and MS-67+, however, are another matter entirely. This issue, as are all Carson City Mint Morgan dollars, is a significant condition rarity in the grade offered here, a fact that is sure to result in spirited bidding for this lot.
