1880-CC $1 MS65 PCGS
Miller, in his Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook writes that the '80-CC Morgan dollar issue was typically struck by dies that had coined no more than 70,000 pieces, and that it was "thus perplexing that a great number of the 1880-CC dollars appear to be very poorly struck." Indeed, this is the case with the present example, as a slightly weak strike is discernable on the highpoints of both sides, but other qualities like deep luster and mostly abrasion-free surfaces for the grade make this coin clearly deserving of the MS65 designation. Attractive antique-golden patina has gathered on each side in a rather light fashion. (PCGS 7100)
