Here's a new purchase that I made at the recent Pasadena, Texas Coin Club Show a couple of weekekdns ago. This specific issue typically comes heavily bagmarked, and is tough to find in unblemished preservation state condition.

    Nice coin, raw or slabbed?

    Lee: Thanks for your post and kind words about my new 1880-CC Morgan Dollar. In reply to your question, the coin has been certified by NGC.

    The 1880-CC (Rev '78) is one of my very favorite Morgan Dollars, along with the 1878 (Rev '79) and 1879-S (Rev '78) because they have an obverse die of one year, paired with a different year's reverse die. These are my favorite type of VAM varieties!! image

    It looks like a very nice example of the date. Few contact marks, strong strike, good luster. My guess is ms63 due to the one large mark on the obverse.

    It also has some bonus clash marks.
