Scarce 1879-CC Capped Mintmark Dollar, MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. VAM-3, Top 100 Variety. A generation ago, the Capped Die '79-CC was considered a "poor man's" 1879-CC and was deeply discounted over its "perfect mintmark" counterpart. The advent of population data has drastically changed the pricing structure for this rarer variety, and attitudes have followed, with the Capped Die coins now fully accepted by the collecting community. As usual, the central details on each side are somewhat softly defined, and the coin is brilliant throughout. The mirrored fields are dazzling and highly reflective with moderate mint frost on the devices. Typically abraded on the portrait of Liberty and in the left obverse field but little contact is seen elsewhere. A splendid, high grade example of this rare '79-CC variant. Population: 17 in 63, 8 finer (1/05).(#97089) (Registry values: P6, N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 253T, PCGS# 97089, Greysheet# 7707)
