Description

Morgan Silver Dollar
1887/6 Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-2. Top 100 Variety. MS-65 DMPL (PCGS). OGH.
Here is a remarkable example of this popular overdate variety. Both sides are fully brilliant with appreciable contrast between satiny design elements and bright, reflective fields. It is sharply struck, as well, and delightful to behold. Prooflike examples of the 1887/6 Morgan dollar are anything but common. The die polishing required to impart such a finish often effaced the delicate remnants of the 6 underdigit. On the present coin, however, these are sharp both before and after the base of the 7. Deep Mirror Prooflike examples are rare, with just 12 examples known at PCGS across all grades. A significant find for the advanced collector of DMPL Morgan dollars who requires nothing but the best.
PCGS# 97175.
PCGS Population: 2; 0 finer in this category.
From the Larry H. Miller Collection. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of the Dr. Hoffnagle Collection of Morgan Dollars, January 2005 FUN Signature Sale, lot 30309
