Uncirculated 1879-CC Capped Die Dollar

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS61 ANACS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Many dealers scorned the "Capped Die" variety in the 1970s. They believed the mint-made die chips that accompany the mintmark detracted from the eye appeal. Today, however, specialists know the significance of the variety. Apparently the wrong mintmark punch was used. The mint worker realized the mistake and made a clumsy effort to efface the errant mintmark before using the proper mintmark punch. A lustrous and nearly untoned rare date Morgan Dollar that has a good strike and a typically marked appearance.
