Description

1880/79-CC Dollar, MS64+ Prooflike
Reverse of 1878, VAM-4

1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878, VAM-4, MS64+ Prooflike NGC. CAC. A Top 100 Variety. This dramatic overdate variety shows the underlying 79 within the loops of 80 in the date, and the parallel arrow feather reverse of 1878 is a more desirable variant. Brilliant surfaces display marked contrast between reflective fields and frosted, exceedingly sharp devices. Even the hair over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers feature bold definition. Grazes on Liberty's cheek and in the lower reverse fields preclude a full Gem assessment. Census: 9 in 64 (3 in 64+ Prooflike, 1 in 64 ), 3 finer (7/15).
