Guidelines for Collecting:

The 1880-CC Morgan dollar was minted in two varieties: the Reverse of 1878 (PAF), with flat breast and parallel top arrow feather, as shown here, and the Reverse of 1879, (SAF), with slanted top arrow feather. Of the two, the reverse of 1878 is several times scarcer, but there are enough in the marketplace that finding a choice example should not be too much of a challenge. The strike is generally quite good, with well-defined feathers and typically with attractive frosty surfaces. It is likely that between 10% and 20% of all Mint State 1880-CC Morgan dollars are of this variety.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

The 1880-CC dollar is available in every grade from well-worn VG or so right up to AU.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Readily available in Mint State up to and including MS-65; there are also plenty of Uncirculated pieces graded finer than MS-65, and specialists tend to zero in on these when available. Look for a pleasing MS-64 example with a minimal amount of contact marks on the surfaces.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
