Choice 1879-CC Morgan Dollar
Scarcer Capped Die Variety

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. A lovely Choice example of this low-mintage Carson City Morgan dollar, this coin is sharply struck, with bright, frosty mint luster. The less available Capped Die variety resulted when a smaller CC mintmark was partially effaced from the die, and a larger CC was struck over it. Only 16 coins have been certified in higher numeric grades by PCGS and NGC combined (8/10).
