Lot 1334
1879-CC. Capped die. PCGS graded MS-63. Lovely blue and gold toning. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. While the obverse and reverse are both nicely toned, brilliant silvery luster fights its way through to greet and energize your field of vision. A satiny example which has come into its own now that its origins are better understood. Not only is the mintmark repunched, but it is a medium over small mintmark, and VAM-3 is considerably scarcer than its 'normal' mintmark equivalents. Well struck except for the curl above Liberty's ear. The reverse is well preserved, while the cheek has a few very minor luster grazes (PCGS # 7088) .
Estimated Value $4,200 - 4,500.
