Pleasing 1879-CC Dollar, VAM-3, MS62

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS62 PCGS. VAM-3, A Top 100 Variety. This interesting variety was created when a larger CC mintmark was juxtaposed over a partially effaced smaller one. The Capped Die variety is less available than the "perfect mintmark" variety, especially in Mint State grades. The present coin is sharply struck, with fine detail present on the hair and eagle's breast. The fields show few handling marks, but a scratch on Liberty's cheek probably limits the grade.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
