Silver Dollar, 1878-CC, PCGS MS 66 CAC

A well struck example with fully detailed hair over Liberty’s ear and fine definition of the eagle’s breast feathers. The reverse die, however, is worn, shows evidence of somewhat haphazard die polishing, and the area around the talons and arrows is somewhat indistinct. A remarkably fresh example which exhibits fewer bagmarks than are commonly associated with the issue.

Certificate number: 1543131 (Generation 3.1 holder). In the top tier; of more than thirty thousand submissions to PCGS records fifty-four finer; forty-eight MS 66+, and six MS 67. Of nearly 1,100 coins examined in all designations, CAC cites sixty-three at this level, and none finer. (02-18)
