*Highlight* 1880-cc Vam 8 NEAR TOP POP Morgan $1 Graded
***Auction Highlight*** 1880-cc Vam 8 NEAR TOP POP Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms67+ By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT - Up for Auction is an 1880-cc Morgan Tied for 2nd Finest known. An exquisite Superb Gem, both sides are fully frosted in finish with a brilliant snow white appearance. The strike is razor sharp throughout, a feature not always seen on 1880-CC dollars of the Reverse of 1879 hub variety. Silky smooth in texture and all but pristine, this delightful coin will please even the most discerning Carson City Mint and/or Morgan dollar enthusiast. As a Carson City Mint issue with a low mintage of 495,000 pieces (net after melting), the 1880-CC Morgan dollar has always been popular with collectors. Thanks to the widespread distribution of examples during the 1950s, early to mid 1960s and, especially, through the various GSA sales of the 1970s, the 1880-CC is readily obtainable in Mint State. Most such pieces are of the Reverse of 1879 hub variety, as here, and most grade no finer than MS-65. Even so, the persistent collector should be able to obtain an MS-66 without too much difficulty. Superb Gems in MS-67 and MS-67+, however, are another mater entirely. This issue, as are all Carson City Mint Morgan dollars, is a significant condition rarity in the grade offered here, a fact that is sure to result in spirited bidding for this lot. I will note that only 1 other coin has ever graded ms67+ and only one coin at ms68, neither of which has come ever come to auction. The lone ms68 is currently for sale at $278,000. I am including an ms67 for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
