Lot 495		1879-CC. NGC graded MS-65. This is one of the most challenging issues to find for any Morgan dollar collector. First off, its a Carson City issue, and that alone creates demand.

The vast majority of mint state coins fall into lower grades with gems downright rare by any measure today. Hence, the top grade Morgan dollar collectors all have to compete when a lovely gem like this comes to market. Here is a beauty that will dazzle any date and mint collector. A frosty example.
