I visited one of my local shops and came across this 1880-CC. It is an 1880/79.

What are your thoughts on the grade this might achieve if sent to NGC?

Brian (GSAGUY) Do you have an accurate population on how many were in the GSA packs?

    The reverse link isn't working for me. I'd grade the front MS64.

    It's a CC, it could very well go 65.

    Very nice, very nice indeed. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    If you can't get the picture to work, go back and click it again. It took me five tries but it finally came up. CU is having issues it looks like.

    JMC12,

    According to an initial tally by the GSA, a total of 131,529 examples of the 1880-CC were offered for sale in the GSA hardpacks. There were certainly some additional coins from this date sold in the GSA softpacks, but no records by date were kept for those coins.

    Your piece, in my estimation, would grade MS64 if sent to NGC, although I'd suggest you keep the grading fee yourself. Nice coin.

    According to the Red Book there are six varieties of the 1880 CC !
    the differences can be almost microscopic.
    My untrained eye would have never seen it was a 80 over 79.

    Congrats on an excellent Morgan !
    Don't believe my 1884 GSA would grade as high.
