Description

1891-CC $1 MS64 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Called the "Spitting Eagle" variety, VAM-3 has a small die mark (as made) just to the left of the eagle's beak. This near-Gem Carson City issue exhibits slate toning on Liberty's head, surrounded by deep gold and blue on the periphery. The reverse differs with only a dusting of gold around the devices. The details are fully struck and there are no noteworthy marks.
