1880-CC GSA Hoard, Hard package One Dollar MS PL Values
Details
The 1880-CC Morgan dollar with the Reverse of 1879 shows a slanted top arrow feather and a more rounded breast -- a design motif that was packaged among the larger grouping of 1880-CC Morgan dollars that made it into the GSA sale. In all, 131,529 examples of the 1880-CC Morgan dollar were offered in the GSA sale, though an untold number of those feature the Reverse of 1879. PL and DMPL specimens are extremely challenging to find.
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
