1880cc Morgan Dollar reverse types

Hello Everybody, I understand the 1880cc Morgan Dollar has different reverses (1878 or 1879) depending on what die was used. But the photo of this 1880cc has me puzzled. It has the CC mint mark which I've only seen on the 1878cc, but the top arrow feather is indicative of an 1879. Any info would be appreciated.

    Here are several '80-CC Reverses to look through. Yours is in there I'd guess...

  • Thx for the reply Rc5280. I'm still baffled. For comparison to my photo, I'm attaching the 1880cc with the 1878 reverse. Both have the small CC mint mark. BUT mine has the slanted top arrow feather and the other has the parallel top arrow feather. So from all the info I can find on the web, the combination of the small CC & the slanted top arrow feather doesn't exist ... but maybe I'm missing something.

  • After double & triple checking the VAMWorld website, looks like it is probably the 1880-CC VAM-6 8/7 Overdate Set Low / https://vamworld.com/wiki/1880-CC_VAM-6

    There are Rev 79's with small CC's.
