1900-O/CC VAM-9. The O/CC dollars were created when discarded dies from the then-defunct Carson City mint were reworked, and used in New Orleans for the 1900-O dollars. The remains of the CC's were not well eliminated and they can be seen below the O mint mark. Eight different VAMs are known with O/CC reverses: VAM-7, 7a, 8, 8a, 9, 10, 11 and 12. VAM-9 was considered the most desirable variety at the time the Top 100 book was printed and is a legitimately tough coin to find, especially in mint state. Since that time VAMs 7 and 7a have turned out to rival it in rarity.
