Morgan Dollars
1879-CC $1 Capped Die, VAM-3, MS64 NGC. A Top 100 Variety. Die chipping is prominent around the repunched mintmark, which shows a medium-sized CC punched over a smaller version. Whispers of soft grayish-tan visit the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. The strike is typical in that the obverse center is weak. Minute obverse handling marks preclude Gem status. NGC has seen only seven coins finer (4/17).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2009), lot 916.
