1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. Capped Die. MS-61 (NGC).Iridescent olive-gay and reddish-apricot patina is bolder on the obverse of this frosty and overall sharply struck example. Although once considered more available than its Clear CC counterpart, the VAM-3 Capped Die is now rightly regarded as the scarcer of the two <em>Guide Book</em> varieties of the key date 1879-CC. A significant find for the astute Morgan dollar variety collector or Carson City Mint enthusiast.From the Claudia St John Collection.
