1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, GSA, MS63+ NGC. A Top 100 Variety. In the September 1965 Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine, Leroy Van Allen stated the "Capped Die" variety was a Large CC over Small CC mintmark, and the myriad die chips near the mintmark were from a mint worker's attempt to efface evidence of the initial (and wrong-sized) mintmark punch. The present lustrous example displays a trace of tan-gold toning, and exhibits minimal contact for the MS63+ grade.
