Here's a tough to locate 1880-CC (8/7) Rev '78 (VAM-7A) Morgan Dollar with strong double clash marks that I recently added to my PCGS PL/DMPL Morgan Dollar Registry Set.
These are the original seller's auction photos. I have not yet received the coin -- but am looking forward to seeing it!!

Newcomp: In reply to your above quoted question, I've been searching for the right example (grade & price) of this specific 1880-CC variety for approx. 2-3 years.

Mine has the slanted top arrow feather and dots in the CCs.
Steve: In reply to your above quoted question, yes that is correct. It is also recognizable by the concave eagle's breast typical on 1878 Morgan Dollar reverses. There are two major overdate varieties of this 1880-CC Reverse of 1878, both the VAM-4 (80/79) and Vam-7 (8/7).
I have found the latter variety (this coin) to be the tougher of the two to locate in condition to suit my satisfaction. Also, this variety is very scarce in PL & DMPL designation, which is why it is one of the exception coins that ia allowed in the PCGS PL/DMPL Registry set in non-PL/DMPL designation.
