1880 CC Morgan Dollar MS64 PL PCGS VAM 3

This 1880 CC Morgan Dollar graded MS64 PL by PCGS exemplifies the pinnacle of Carson City coinage aesthetics and preservation. The MS64 PL designation represents near-gem quality with pristine mirror fields and frosted design elements—an exceptional combination rarely encountered in business-strike Morgan dollars. The MS64 grade reflects virtually flawless surfaces with only minute imperfections detectable under magnification, while the proof-like designation showcases superior striking quality and original mint brilliance. Carson City dollars command premium valuations due to their restricted production and historical significance. The combination of exceptional preservation, museum-quality proof-like surfaces, and the desirable CC mint mark positions this specimen at the apex of Morgan dollar collecting. This coin appeals to advanced collectors pursuing investment-grade examples, type set completionists seeking premium specimens, and numismatists valuing both aesthetic excellence and superior preservation. An outstanding acquisition for those seeking the finest examples of this iconic American silver dollar series.
VAM 3 indicates there is a dash under the 8 in the date.
