1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. Capped Die. MS-61 (PCGS).This boldly struck, satiny example is enhanced by vivid reddish-apricot and champagne-pink peripheral toning that is much more extensive on the reverse. Although the 1880-CC, 1881-CC and 1885-CC all have lower mintages, the 1879-CC is the undisputed key date issue among early date (1878-1885) Carson City Mint Morgan dollars. The VAM-3 Capped Die variety, offered here, is scarcer in all Mint State grades than its Clear CC counterpart.From the Xavier Ken Koike Collection.
