Description

Desirable MS62 VAM-3 1879-CC Dollar

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS62 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Part of the already-challenging group of 1879-CC dollars and more elusive than the normal-die varieties, though the Capped Die was priced lower than its "normal" counterpart for decades. This sharply struck piece is immensely lustrous with hints of peach toning in the fields. Light, scattered abrasions account for the grade.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
