Lustrous 1879-CC Capped Die Select Dollar

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS63 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. This variety was caused by a medium-sized mintmark punched over the remnants of a smaller one. Peripheral golden-tan patina is deeper in hue on the obverse and the design elements are generally well struck on this lustrous specimen. Small marks on Liberty's cheek and neck limit the grade.(Registry values: P6, N2998)
