|
1879-CC AU.
|
|
While often seen (when you find them) with prooflike tendencies, a few points of wear does not prevent one from thinking this was likely a fully frosted example upon striking. Even now, the coin... |

|
1879-CC (VAM-4) PCGS MS-63.
|
|
The "clear mintmark" reverse, as is attributed by VAM-4. Some definite semi-prooflike characteristics visit the obverse, while the reverse shimmers with steadfast frosty brilliance. Entirely... |

|
1879-CC NGC AU-50.
|
|
The AU-50 grade seems a little conservative for this key Morgan dollar, because there is only minimal wear over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast, and some of the flatness may be attributed to a... |
|
| 681 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $6,750.00 |
|
1879-CC PCGS MS-64 (green label).
|
|
Clear CC mintmark. 756,000 1879-CC dollars were struck in Carson City, of which the "clear mintmark" is considered the more desirable in most grades, except at MS-64, where the "capped CC" begins to... |

|
1879-CC (VAM-3, Capped CC) NGC VF-30, and 1887/6 (VAM-2, 7/6) PCGS...
|
|
Popularity of the 1879-CC VAM-3 stems partly from the blundered mintmark on the reverse, and also from doubling of the date, particularly the "1". Included here is a lightly cleaned example graded... |
|
| 832 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $5,500.00 |
|
1879-CC (VAM-4) GSA NGC MS-63.
|
|
Booming silvery luster activates the eye-appeal and garners immediate accolades. Several abrasions and marks clump together on Liberty's cheek and pretty much bar any chance of upgrade, but looking... |
|
| 632 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $875.00 |
|
1879-CC XF, 1893-CC VF, and 1895-O XF, all dipped.
|
|
Excessively white, luminous surfaces suggest that each member of this Morgan dollar trio has been harshly dipped. Dates graded by DETAILS ONLY include: 1879-CC (VF-30 details), 1893-CC (VF-30... |
|
| 633 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $750.00 |
|
1879-CC XF and 1892-S XF.
|
|
Littleton was the source of this pair of better Morgan dollars, purchased by the consignor between 1987 and 1990. 1879-CC has details right on the cusp of XF-40/45, but has been mildly cleaned, while... |
|
| 634 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $500.00 |
|
1879-CC (VAM-3, capped die) XF details/cleaned.
|
|
Because the significant luster on the reverse is not complemented by similar luster on the obverse, a details grade of XF-45 seems most appropriate, being also reflective of light wear on the... |
|
| 635 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $4,900.00 |
|
1879-CC GSA MS-62.
|
|
1879-CC is famed as the key GSA dollar, and of course a semi-key within the regular series notwithstanding, and this is a white example. MS-62 is an appropriate assessment for a large coin with this... |
|
| 746 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $5,000.00 |
|
1879-CC GSA MS-63.
|
|
Beyond all doubt, 1879-CC is the key to the collectable GSA series. This silver-grey example is semi-prooflike, and the delicate surfaces are actually a little less abraded than they appear at first... |
|
| 571 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $525.00 |
|
1879-CC PCGS XF-40.
|
|
Level of detail certainly supports the assigned grade of XF-40, but the obverse is a tad brighter than might be expected of the grade, while the reverse is affected by curious multi-hued toning that... |
|
| 572 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $6,000.00 |
|
1879-CC "clear CC" GSA MS-63.
|
|
Aside from being a semi-key in the Morgan dollar series, 1879-CC is THE key to the GSA dollar set, worthy of at least a $1000 premium over a non-GSA coin. This one is a beauty, grading MS-63 with... |
|
| 562 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $350.00 |
|
1879-CC VF.
|
|
Highly attractive original iron-grey surfaces are perfectly accented with darker grey patina in the protected areas that makes this coin appear at least five points sharper. Wonderful! A set of... |

| 563 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $600.00 |
|
1879-CC PCGS XF-45.
|
|
Typically, once a coin has circulated and acquired oxidation, the odds are stacked heavily against development of colorful toning. This key-date Morgan has defied those odds. The obverse is shrouded... |
|
| 746 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,500.00 |
|
1879-CC/ "CC Over CC"/ VAM-3, Top 100. ICG AU-55.
|
|
Immediate visual impact cannot be avoided by the huge licorice-grey swath of toning that surges across the reverse. Though assuredly caused by an old storage mechanism, the metal in the area is not... |
|
| 595 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $4,100.00 |
|
1879-CC 'normal CC' Morgan dollar, GSA MS-63.
|
|
Crisp, virtually complete definition presides across even the finer details, and though the obverse is clearly prooflike, the reverse does not quite capture enough reflectivity in the fields to... |
|
| 649 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $875.00 |
|
1879-CC pair of Morgan dollars, VF-35 and XF-40

|
1879-CC 'normal CC' Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-64
|
|
It hardly seems reasonable that a coin with this much blatant cameo contrast and field reflectivity would not be assigned a "prooflike" designation, but for reasons unknown, PCGS chose not to do so. ... |

1879-CC XF-40, Cleaned.
|
|
Although not harshly cleaned, a generous array of crisscrossing hairlines that overlay both sides confirms that this coin had an encounter with a jeweler’s cloth. It is rather bright and slightly... |
|
| 717 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $1,050.00 |
|
1879-CC XF-45+.
|
|
Nearly full breast feathers seemingly imply an even higher assessment than the XF-45 that we have assigned this difficult key date Morgan dollar, but the diminished luster is likely due to a quick dip... |
|
| 718 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $5,250.00 |
|
1879-CC PCGS MS-63.
|
|
A clearly open mintmark confirms this as an example of the more desirable of the two CC mintmark varieties for the date. Although surface reflectivity is always difficult to assess once a coin has... |

1879-CC GSA MS-64.

1879-CC XF-45.
