Lot 1746
1878 Morgan Dollar. 8 tail feathers. PCGS graded MS-64 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Blazing white example. A lustrous example whose snow white brilliance whirls dizzily around the surface in deep mirror reflection. Desirable with this bold strike where only a couple of the central hair strands seem folded together above Liberty's ear. The first-year Morgan dollars have proven highly collectible because there is a rich assortment of major varieties as well as subvarieties to pique the interest of collectors. Pop 31; 3 in 65 DMPL; 1 in 66 DMPL. (PCGS # 97073) .

1878 Morgan Dollar. 7 tail feathers, reverse of 1878. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Full reeling mint brilliance, the color of ice: "white" ice on the devices, and slippery "black" ice for the glassy smooth fields. Struck with choice exactness throughout, of course, there is no need to ignore the central part of Liberty's strong profile where a somewhat rounded impression is sometimes left by the dies. This this coin is decidedly bold in the centers. And it makes a bold statement as well to anyone familiar with the series. Only 250 proofs minted. Pop 4; 1 in 66 Cam as best at PCGS. (PCGS # 87312) .

1878-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Prooflike. Light hint of gold toning around the edges of both sides. What gladdens us most is to see a crisp rather than a dullish, smooth impression was left by the pressure of the dies that struck this sharp prooflike 1878-CC specimen. This is a virtually blemish-free example, mainly white in color, with nice mint mirrors supporting frosted relief. This is the sort of capable-looking silver dollar that any collector would value owning. Since there are cases on record where more than one bidder may be interested, why not consider submitting a premium bid to assure ownership? Pop 85; 12 in 66PL. (PCGS # 7081) .

1879 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 Prooflike. Light hint of gold toning. Mostly untoned. A nice radiant white tint whose prooflike glow tantalizes the eye from this lustrous piece, a coin whose mint glow goes round and round. A dullish central impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck most 1879 Philadelphia Mint dollars; however, we're pleased to see and report that this is a splendid exception to that rule. It is bold. Pop 11; 1 in 66PL as best by PCGS. (PCGS # 7085) .

1879. NGC graded Proof 58. Light hairlines on both sides. These are minor, however, revealing themselves mainly in a thin line on the cheek plus a little tic mark on Liberty's forehead. The surfaces are a modest silvery bright, with subtle rather than bright luster as is typical for the Philadelphia Mint dollars this year. And yet, the swirling frost still gives off its nice cartwheel effect as the coin is tilted under a strong light (PCGS # 7314) .

1879-CC. NGC graded MS-65. Mostly white. Liberty's head is frosty. Pop 31; none higher by NGC. Clear CC. This is one of the rarest dates in the entire Morgan dollar series in gem condition, and this coin is certainly one of the very finest to show the desirable deeply frosted fields. Note the quality of the surfaces, which show only the tiniest of handling marks. This is an otherwise strongly struck example, with nice detail to all the important high points, with the possible exception of these regions (standard for the issue): central hair above the ear, eagle's breast, and the legs. The contrast of this coin with other 1879-CC dollars is very strong, with the satiny frost rolling away into the equally frosted devices. No signs of toning are seen, and this coin is brilliant. Although the mintage for '79-CC is fairly reasonable for the mint of issue, considering the rarity of this date (756,000 coined), there were very few that turned up in the Treasury Hoard. It is for this reason, the majority of this date are found in circulated condition. This is one of the most difficult dates to find in Gem Mint State 65 or higher grades, and few are offered in the numismatic marketplace. A grand opportunity for the silver dollar specialist (PCGS # 7086) .

1879-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-64 Plus. In a GSA black box. as issued. Very rare in GSA issued box. Ice-cold white color covers the fields of this handsome coin, with better limitation on the bagmarks than usual for 1879-CC. In order to understand the grade further, notice that it is struck with care only now and then found on this scarce issue; even with thousands found in the Treasury GSA hoard, when it comes to the usual softness at the centers, this piece, on the contrary, received a full blow by the dies. One of the finest examples we have ever seen is a GSA holder.

1879-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-64. In a GSA Black Box as issued. Rare date in GSA holder. Well struck and frosty. Typically frosty for the issue, the ice-white surfaces are nearly gem level with few distracting bagmarks. The strike is bold, if not quite 100%, and the eye appeal establishes this coin's credentials even further from a nice glow to the fields. A date that is always in actively sought due to its low original mintage.

  1879-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A hint of light toning however mostly white. Struck with not quite the required mathematical precision by the dies, some areas above the ear are incomplete by an unsuccessful strike left by the rebound of the dies.

  1879-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. White example. Both sides display the typical "look" for this CC-mint delivery: thickly frosted surfaces, rolling cartwheel effects, and boldly original devices. However, a slightly ineffectual imprint was left by the rebound of the dies that struck this, as often seen with a few merged hair curls at the ear. Elsewhere, the design is crisply defined.

  1879-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Mostly white. A unsuccessful strike was left by the rebound of the dies that coined this '79-CC, but only at the exact center in a small region bounded by the upper curve of Liberty's ear where it disappears underneath the hair waves. What is absolutely successful is the way the lustrous fields ripple with original mint bloom, however! Against this are set nicely subdued, matte design elements. Very scarce.

The surfaces are marvelous: a combination of bright silver color with incredibly beautiful toning, and quite lustrous. Often, a soft impact was left by the recoil of the dies that strike Morgan dollars; but in a few instances like the present superb '81-S, the opposite is the case and the coin has a very convincing impression. We are also convinced this will find a ready home. Pop 42. (PCGS # 7130) .
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,400.
