Description:
A rare find, this coin has been graded MS-62 by NGC, originates from the GSA Hoard, and presented in its original box and accompanied by paperwork. It stands as a unique specimen among early Carson City silver dollars, encased in GSA holders issued by the U.S. government. The coin boasts a vibrant original luster in a pristine white hue, showcasing a well-defined strike. While numerous contact marks on the obverse contribute to its MS-62 grading, the overall visual appeal remains compelling. Notably, the total mintage for this specific date and mintmark is 756,000. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that only 4,100 pieces are housed in GSA Holders, with a mere 230 achieving the MS-62 grade, disregarding the grading company in the latter count. (The figure 4,100 encompasses all pieces dated 1879 CC in GSA Holders, while the number 230 pertains to all pieces graded MS-62, irrespective of the grading company.)
