1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. Capped Die.

1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. Capped Die. Unc Details--Cleaned (PCGS). Largely known as the Capped Die, the 1879-CC Large CC Over Small CC variety is actually an overmintmark. The reverse die was first affixed with the small CC as used in the production of the 1878-CC Morgan dollar. This small CC was later partially effaced and a larger CC was entered in its place. Still later, the die acquired a considerable amount of rust in the mintmark area, and all known 1879-CC Capped Die Morgans display the effects around the CC. Since this variety has also been described as the Broken CC, the 1879-CC Capped Die has garnered quite a bit of negative press over the years. This is unfortunate, since the Capped Die is actually scarcer than its Perfect CC counterpart in all grades. Nowhere is this discrepancy more marked than at certified Uncirculated grade levels. This PCGS-certified example with bold to sharp Mint State details will appeal to astute Morgan dollar variety collectors working with a more limited numismatic budget.
