Nice pickup!
This is the "capped" cc or large cc over small cc and neither clear or capped come cheap lol I still need a clear cc for my full morgan set

 

What a strong IGWT.

 

You’re correct. Both BBC ate expensive big the clear CC were I’ll cost more than the Capped CC.

 

Here is my Capped CC. I would appreciated some input on what it would grade.

 

Here is my 1879 capped CC. I once helped a family friend sell their accumulation/collection. As I was going through the coins I would put aside ones that I was interested in purchasing. I put them in a 2" x 9.5" box and when we met I gave him the box and said these were ones I wanted to purchase. He handed the box back to me and said it was a gift. He also gave me a similar box with 22 large cents and some early Canadian coins/tokens. He was very happy with my efforts as he realized over 4 x's what a local thief had offered him.

 

A G-10 I think

 

Very kind of you to do for and very nice of him to give you the box.

 

I was flabbergasted. Ultimately, he got a little over $50 K.

 

What a sweet deal for both of you.
