1883-CC is one of the more common GSA dates, with 755,518 coins (total mintage at Carson City for this date was 1,204,000. Collectors are lucky there are so many nice coins available for this date, with 273 graded ms66. They get a bit rarer in DPL, with only 55 graded ms65DPL, and just 6 coins graded higher (2 ms65DPL star, 2 ms66DPL, 1 ms65DPL star, and 1 ms67DPL).
This coin has very reflective mirror fields, and a really beautiful cameo. It gets 1,028 points in the registry set, compared to 1,271 for the more plentiful ms66. Come on NGC, you can do better than that!!!
I bought this coin on ebay about four years ago. It was my first, but obviously not last DPL coin I bought and the start of this collection. I guess it has taken me four years to collect this set, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I did not plan on making a set of these, but the more I got, the more I wanted.
