1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62 Prooflike
VAM-3, Capped Die

1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, MS62 Prooflike PCGS. A Top 100 Variety. The VAM-3 "Capped Die" variety is elusive in Prooflike grades. This example not only has reflective fields, but the well-struck devices are frosty and brilliant, providing stark cameo contrast. A hint of gold toning appears around the extreme outer peripheries. Scattered abrasions limit the grade.
