Sharply struck with flashy pure white luster and beautiful nearly mark-free surfaces. Just 4,800 minted.

CAC. Capped Die. A Gem for the grade with strong detail, no heavy marks, and lustrous original silver-gray surfaces.

CAC. Scarce in any grade with a mintage of just 17,281. Most surviving examples are well worn. This is a nice original XF+ with solid detail and outstanding choice problem-free surfaces.

Capped Die. Sharply struck with thick frosty luster. Cream-white surfaces display a little champagne-gold along the periphery. High grade ‘Capped Dies’ are considerably scarcer than the ‘Perfect CC’s’ as the later was heavily represented in the GSA hoard.

A ‘perfect CC’ example with light gray surfaces and noticeable underlying luster.

Perfect CC. Frosty white luster and a sharp strike with just a touch of ‘rub’.

Capped Die. Very nice for the grade with a strong strike and attractive cream-white surfaces.

Blazing white surfaces with thick frost and touches of light gold in the outer core and along the periphery. The strike is sharp and abrasions are nearly non-existent. Amazing quality and none have graded finer at PCGS or NGC!

Reverse of 1878. Brilliant white surfaces with subtle touches of gold on the reverse. The luster is strong and the strike is razor-sharp. An attractive example and very desirable.
