1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, MS64 PCGS. CAC. A Top 100 Variety. A mint employee entered the wrong size CC mintmark, then effaced it with minute chisel marks before repunching the mintmark with the correct size. Medium almond-gold toning blankets this lustrous key date Carson City Morgan. A good strike exists despite moderate incompleteness at the centers. Minor grazes on the cheek and reverse field correspond to the grade. An original example of this curious Guide Book variety. PCGS reports just 13 numerically finer Capped Die coins (11/16). CAC: 45 in 64, 5 finer (11/16).
Ex: Tampa FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2011), lot 5865, which realized $7,762.50.
