Spectacular MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1879-CC Dollar
VAM-3, The 'Capped Die' Variety

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-3. An utterly fantastic representative of this long-known Carson City variety, actually a Large CC Over Small CC mintmark but traditionally known as the "Capped Die". The mirrors are astonishingly deep on the present piece, and the well struck devices exhibit subtle frostiness that leads to pleasing contrast. A handful of scattered flaws are present on each side, but most of these are shallow and generally unimportant. A minimally toned example that displays beautifully. Population: 4 in 64, 0 finer (6/08).
From the "A Gift of Undeserved Favor" Collection.
