1880-CC $1 8/Low 7, DMPL MS (PCGS#97105)

Spring 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: Dusted with silver-gray iridescence, both sides are minimally toned to allow ready appreciation of cameoed field to device contrast. Sharply struck and remarkably well preserved for this popular overdate in the CC-Mint Morgan dollar series. The popular 1880-CC Morgan dollar is more readily obtainable in Mint State than a limited mintage of 495,000 pieces might imply, many coins remaining in government vaults for decades until distributed to collectors through the various GSA sales of the 1970s. As with all Carson City Mint issues in this series, however, the 1880-CC is rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here. The 1880-CC is also known for a number of interesting overdates, VAM-6 offered here the 8/Low 7 <em>Guide Book</em> variety. The collector of ultimate DMPL Morgan dollars has precious few coins to choose from for the 1880-CC VAM-6 in a PCGS holder. Remarkable!
