      General Notes: A very small number of 1879-CC Capped Die Morgan dollars are known in GSA holders and these are rare, much sought-after coins. It is unknown exactly how many 1879-CC Capped Die Morgan dollars exist in GSA holders, but only a very small number of 1879-CC dollars ever made it into government plastic -- of a total mintage of 756,000 issues, only 4,123 were sold in the GSA sales. The 1879-CC Capped Die Morgan dollars differ from the regular 1879-CC Morgan dollars in that die corrosion shows appears as crustiness near the top of the CC mintmark, which also happens to be an overmintmark variety. Any PLs and DMPLs are rare.
