Description
1879-CC Morgan Dollar, MS61
Top 100 VAM-3A, Capped Die
1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3A, MS61 NGC. A Top 100 Variety.
The 1879-CC is the first truly scarce issue in the series, a result
of only limited numbers of this issue surviving via the GSA hoard.
This MS61 is the popular VAM-3A, or "Capped Die" variety, with a
Large over Small CC mintmark, date doubling and die gouges. Frosty
luster under a transparent layer of almond-gray yields a fantastic
cartwheel effect. Typical strike weakness is seen at the centers,
and light scattered abrasions define the grade.From The Zeus Collection.
