1879-CC $1 MS64+ PCGS. VAM-4. 30th Anniversary Green Label Holder. The mintmark is lightly doubled on the inside of the second C on this lesser VAM variety. Frosty mint luster embraces mint-fresh surfaces on this high-end near-Gem, accentuated by a hint of light champagne toning. Slight weakness on the eagle's talons and breast barely translates to the hair above Liberty's ear. There are a few minor grazes on the obverse, but the overall surface quality is excellent. The 1879-CC is a secondary key date in the Carson City short set, trailing only the 1889-CC in importance. The Capped Die variety of this year gives the issue even more focus from series specialists, although it is the Normal Mintmark varieties such as that of the present coin that are the most elusive at auction.
