1878-CC Seated Dime (And Possible Related Topics!)

Here's another of my prized Seated dimes. This is an 1878-CC coin graded MS-63 by PCGS. It has weakness on the lower left of the reverse which I understand was caused by a lapped or overpolished die. Other examples were struck before the reverse die was lapped and those have strong detail in this area.

Based on information provided by SeatedDime this would be a Type 1 reverse if the left-side ribbon had a forked end. However, the die lapping pretty much obliterated this part of the design. So, is it a Type 1 or a Type 2? As is the case for the 1877-CC dime I previously posted the price guides show a higher value for Type 1 examples.

I think I'll retrieve this coin from the safe deposit box and try for some sharper pictures; these old images are kinda blurry. It might take awhile but I'll update this thread once I have better shots.
