1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, GSA, MS64 NGC. CAC. A Top 100 Variety. The 18 in the date is lightly repunched, but VAM-3 is best known for the myriad minute die chips surrounding the mintmark. Researchers have concluded that a Mint worker entered a large CC over a Small CC, then attempted to efface the remnants of the Small CC from the reverse die. This lustrous near-Gem has a good strike and only a trace of tan patina. The fields and the sweet spot of the cheek are refreshingly unmarked. The lot includes a GSA holder and a highly elusive 1879-CC GSA certificate. Census: 27 in 64 (3 in 64+), 2 finer (11/16).
