Lot Title: 1878-CC NGC MS-64 CAC.
Description: A hint of silver-rose patina coasts inward from the rims, framing extensive, blazing luster that in turn surrounds the devices. This coin was struck incredibly well by newer dies, and every single morsel of detail at the center of each side is brought up with exquisite precision. A singular brief scratch floats off to the far right, well hidden amongst a few of the minor luster grazes that visit the fields here and there. (PCGS# 007080)

1878-CC PCGS MS-62, and an 1882-CC PCGS MS-62 (GSA).
Smithereen's Collection. PCGS identifies the latter as a GSA representative, though odds are that the 1878-CC came from GSA bags as well. This coin shows fragile aluminum-grey patina, but...

1878-CC (VAM-22) PCGS MS-62PL (green label).

1878-CC PCGS MS-65.

1878-CC and 1884-CC, both GSA NGC MS-62.

1878-CC (VAM-20) GSA MS-63.

1878-CC and 1882-CC, both NGC MS-63.
Frosty white luster dominates 1878-CC, and as usual, this is an incredibly well struck coin, fully detailed upon production. Subsequent bag storage has abraded the surfaces, which always seems to be...
679The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$475.00
1878-CC GSA MS-63.
1878-CC may be common as a silver dollar under normal circumstances, but examples still in GSA holders are downright scarce in terms of market presence. They seldom show up, and most examples show...
680The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$400.00
1878-CC NGC MS-64.
Sizzling luster scorches Liberty's portrait, with the entire coin struck to an extremely high level of sharpness. Indeed, this appears to be a 100% fully struck dollar. A vivid but small explosion...

1878-CC PCGS MS-64 CAC.
Beautiful army-green and magenta-gold drapes over the upper obverse and fills most of the reverse, offering artistic flair for this sheening dollar. For MS-64, the cheek seems to be unusually fresh...

1878-CC NGC MS-64 DPL.
Every square micrometer of Liberty's portrait has been layered in thick, fluffy white frost, and the fields are so powerfully mirrored that only the faintest possible hint of cartwheel luster shimmers...
683The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$1,450.00
1878-CC PCGS MS-65.
An astounding GEM for the collector of toned coins, prominent spearmint-green mixes with glorious sunset-peach atop the portrait, as if aurora borealis had been painted into the fields. Unbelievable...

1878-CC MS-63/slightly bent, 1883-CC MS-60/pvc damage, and an 1884-CC...
At first blush, the blazing eye-appeal emanating from three big, bad silver coins like this may prove too difficult to resist! These likely came from the great GSA hoard, though subsequent storage...
675The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,050.00
1878-CC and 1890-CC, both PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
As is many times seen for the date, 1878-CC displays an outrageously sharp strike that probably is as complete as possible for a commercial striking, and the surfaces are silver-white except for a...
676The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$550.00
1878-CC PCGS MS-64 CAC.
Impeccably sharp details speak to an amazing strike that brought up all the central curls on Liberty's portrait and left none of the eagle's breast feathers even remotely soft. Superb luster dances...
767The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$625.00
1878-CC (VAM-17) GSA NGC MS-64.
The reverse is blast white, while the obverse is one shade off, exuding eggshell patina along with a splash of peach-gold toning in the lower right quadrant. Strike definition is almost impossibly...
826The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$550.00
1878-CC UNC details/cleaned, 1884-CC UNC details/planchet flaw, and...
None of these is likely to evade a "details only" grade at a certification service, but really, must every coin in the world be encapsulated? Of course not. Many collectors with budgetary...
827The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$700.00
Two 1878-CC GSA (blue envelope) MS-60, and an 1885-O GSA (blue...
Both of the 1878-CC Morgans are VAM-2, easily recognized by the chip on Liberty's nose, while 1885-O is VAM-14, with a dash under the "8" and the mintmark shifted right. These all fall under the...
828The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$875.00
Two 1878-CC NGC MS-64 and an 1882-CC NGC MS-62.
The 1878-CC dollars are both steam-white and extremely well struck, but the 1882-CC may have lost a point due to several coffee-brown spots that affect the portrait. The latter coin is also not as...
626The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$600.00
1878-CC MS-60, 1879-CC VF, and 1880-CC XF details/questionable color.

627The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$260.00
1878-CC (VAM-2) in GSA envelope MS-60.
Heavy abrasions and surface tone led to inclusion in the GSA hoard as a "circulated" 1878-CC Morgan dollar, but an MS-60 grade likely applies today. VAM-2 is instantly attributed by a booger on...
628The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$675.00
Two 1878-CC, MS-63 and MS-61.
A pair of 1878-CC Morgan dollars, both of them uncirculated. These are fresh, original BU coins with no problems, though one is perceptibly superior to the other due to cleaner fields. Call one...

745The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$360.00
1878-CC PCGS MS-64.
Blazing luster is worthy of a gem, and for that matter, this coin falls close to that grade, featuring a mind-boggling sharp strike that has brought up every single possible detail on either side. ...
566The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$850.00
1878-CC, 1890-O, and 1903. NGC MS-64.
Morgan dollars grade MS-64 in this group, according to NGC, and all of them are considerably more expensive in the next grade up, particularly on a percentage basis. 1878-CC features delicate...
567The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$625.00
1878-CC GSA NGC MS-64.
Flashy and semi-reflective, specifically on the obverse. If one covered the grade and showed this coin to a handful of dealers and collectors, how many of them would guess it graded MS-65? For that...
568The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$560.00
1878-CC PCGS MS-64PL.
A tenuous layer of almond-beige haze appears to occupy both sides and may be inhibiting reflectivity to some extent. It is possible that proper conservation would reveal even stronger prooflike...

1878-CC PCGS MS-65.
Crystal clear luster provides outstanding eye appeal and nearly attains a semi-prooflike appearance, since both Liberty's portrait and the eagle on the reverse are finely layered with frosty texture. ...

904The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$460.00
1878-CC NGC MS-64.
Rather nice for the grade, because even though Liberty's cheek is mildly abraded, the fields are softly lustrous and show no defects. Frosty white.

1878-CC PCGS MS-65.

1878-CC PCGS MS-64.

1878-CC and 1884-CC Morgan dollars, NGC MS-64.
Both of these Carson City products exhibit blast white beauty, and they probably originally derived from the famed GSA hoard. Though each is at least somewhat prooflike, NGC did not supply that...

1878-CC GSA, NGC MS-64.
GSA dollar dated 1878-CC and graded MS-64 by NGC. White with a couple of spindly die cracks at the bottom of the reverse. No box or certificate is included.

1878-CC Morgan dollar, MS-63 PL.
Myriad wiry die polish lines could erroneously be mistaken as hairlines by the inexperienced observer. Just enough reflectivity and cameo contrast validate the “prooflike” designation for this...

1878-CC Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-66
PCGS has only certified four examples finer than this marvelous gem, and it is obvious that this cream-grey specimen bears out all the attributes of an MS-66. To start with, the mint luster glows...
707The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$5,000.00
Roll of 1878-CC Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollars.
An awesome roll of Carson City dollars! Seemingly none of the coins should grade below MS-63, and at least two have a legitimate shot at MS-65. These are all consistently attractive, frosty white...

1878-CC GSA MS-63 PL.

1878-CC and 1883-CC PCI MS-64.
The 1878-CC is graded MS-64 by PCI, but MS-63 seems to be a more appropriate assessment. The 1883-CC is graded MS-64 DMPL by PCI, and though the reverse is a no-question MS-64 DMPL as stated, your...

1878-CC PCGS MS-64.

1878-CC GSA MS-65.

1878-CC MS-62 DMPL.

602The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$280.00
1878-CC PCI MS-64 PL.
Very flashy surfaces and frosty devices give this coin a cameo appearance. The grade number appears dead on, but it would probably need to be a tad more reflective to earn the PL designation at PCGS...
603The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$640.00
1878-CC GSA MS-64.
This is not your ordinary, everyday run-of-the-mill GSA Morgan Dollar. This little beauty is not in the boring old hard black holder, it is housed in the much harder to find soft blue envelope. The...

1878-CC PCGS MS-63 DMPL.
A marvelous contrast is viewed between the frosted white devices and the deeply reflective fields. A sprinkling of light ticks and scattered faint scuffs are less than normally encountered for...

1878-CC NGC MS-63.
From the first year of issue, and the always popular Carson City Branch Mint, it portrays white design elements and complementary velvetlike fields. Minimally marked and impressively struck.

712The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
