Offered here is a highly collectible 1879-CC Morgan Silver Dollar certified by NGC as VF Details featuring the famous VAM-3 “Capped CC” Top-100 variety from the legendary Carson City Mint.

The “Capped CC” variety is one of the most recognized and sought-after Carson City Morgan Dollar varieties. This variety is identified by a die gouge that partially covers the Carson City “CC” mint mark on the reverse, creating the appearance of a cap over the mint mark. As an officially recognized Top-100 VAM, it remains extremely popular among advanced Morgan Dollar and variety collectors.

Carson City Morgan Dollars are among the most desirable coins in the entire Morgan Dollar series due to their historic Wild West connection, lower mintages, and strong collector demand. The combination of a Carson City issue with a major Top-100 variety makes this an especially desirable collectible piece.

This example has been certified by NGC as VF Details with a Reverse Cleaned designation while still retaining strong overall detail and eye appeal for the grade.
