Description
1879-CC 'Capped Die' Dollar, AU53
VAM-3, Top 100, Guide Book Variety
1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, AU53 PCGS. A Top 100 Variety.
The story of the "Capped Die" variety is that a mint worker used
the wrong Carson City mintmark punch, intended for smaller Seated
denominations, into a working reverse die. The mistake was
recognized, and the correct punch was then used. Small chips were
made in the mintmark area to efface traces of the Small CC. A
brilliant and partly lustrous example of the popular Guide
Book variety. The left obverse is moderately abraded.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 253T, Variety PCGS# 133869, Base PCGS# 7088, Greysheet# 193681)
Weight: 26.73 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
