Vividly Toned Superb Gem 1885-CC Dollar 1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67+ * (NGC). One look at the obverse of this coin and it is obvious why it is the only MS-67+ to which NGC also awarded a * designation for superior eye appeal. Crescents of vivid multicolored bag toning grace that side of the coin and contrast with a reverse that is brilliant apart from a splash of reddish-gold tinting at the right border. Highly lustrous with a satin to softly frosted finish, a bold strike and expert surface preservation round out a truly impressive list of attributes for this exquisite Superb Gem. An extremely popular issue with the third lowest mintage among circulation strike Morgan dollars, the 1885-CC was produced to the extent of just 228,000 pieces. A sizable percentage of the original mintage (148,285 coins, or 64.9%) was distributed through the various GSA sales of 1972 to 1980, however, which fact has made Mint State examples readily obtainable in today's market. Even so, this issue is rare above the MS-66 grade level. At NGC MS-67+ *, this specimen is among the very finest certified survivors. It is a serious find for the collector assembling the finest set of Carson City Mint coinage or Morgan silver dollars. NGC Census: 16, just one of which has been awarded the * designation for superior eye appeal; 5 finer (all MS-68). PCGS# 7160. NGC ID: 254S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
