<B>1879-CC $1 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The 1879-CC is among the lowest-mintage Carson City issues (756,000 pieces). David Bowers (1993) attributes this to railroad tariffs that made it "cheaper to send silver bullion hundreds of miles distant to San Francisco for coinage than to send it 15 miles to the Carson City Mint! As a result, silver bullion was scarce at Carson City, and the mint stopped production of dollars after only a relatively few had been coined."<BR> The silver-gray lustrous surfaces of this Gem display just an occasional blush of light tan color, particularly on portions of the central devices. An attentive strike leaves sharp detail on most of the design elements, and the few light grazes visible are well within the parameters of the MS65 designation. Higher-grade examples are virtually unobtainable. Population: 95 in 65, 2 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
