Gem Mint State 1879-CC Capped Die Dollar An Underappreciated Variety 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. Capped Die. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. Beautiful mint frost flows over both sides of this exceptionally well preserved, visually appealing Gem. Mostly brilliant with just some minimal pale champagne-pink iridescence. Boldly struck and an outstanding example of both the issue and variety. It is sure to appeal to astute Morgan dollar VAM collectors. 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 the Gem Mint State level of preservation. This is an exceptional example perfect for an advanced Registry Set. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 11; 5 finer in this category (all MS-65+). CAC Population: 6; 0.
