We are pleased to offer for sale this 1879-CC Capped Die Morgan Silver Dollar KEY DATE coin graded and encapsulated as AU-50 by PCGS. There were only 756,000 of this 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar minted at the Carson City (CC) Mint however it is unknown how many are this rare Capped Die Variety. This variety is due to the Mint attempting to punch a large CC over a small CC. In these specimens this over-punch produced a rough area around the mintmark. This coin is also one of the KEY DATE coins of the series!
