Silver Dollar, 1900-O over CC, PCGS MS 66 CAC

An unusually well struck example of an issue that is most frequently seen with weak details. The coin has a milky-white lustre, with nearly unblemished fields. On the throat of Liberty a few small contact marks and a mint-caused inclusion on the tip of her nose are noted. Because more than one reverse die was used to create the variety, it seems unlikely that it was a mistake, but rather the thrifty utilization of left over dies from the closed Carson City mint.

Certificate number: 3076582 (Generation 3.1 holder). Of the more than 7,000 occasions on which examples have been certified by PCGS, one hundred and thirty were graded comparably, and only ten finer (eight MS 66+; one MS 67; and one MS 67+); in October 1992, not long before this example was certified, PCGS had graded none above MS 66. CAC has certified forty-two at this level, and only two (MS 67) finer. (02-18)
