1887/6 Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-2. Top 100 Variety. MS-65+ (PCGS).
Semi-PL fields support frosty, smartly impressed design elements on both sides of this silver-tinged example. Bold remnants of the 6 underdigit are present before and after the primary digit 7 in the date, a feature best observed with the aid of a loupe. One of just a few overdates in the Morgan dollar series, all of which occurred in two years, 1880 and 1887. All four of the active mints produced overdates in the former year, while in 1887 the overdates were limited to Philadelphia and New Orleans. The present Gem, among the finer certified by PCGS, represents a nice opportunity for those specialists who strive for both completeness and superior quality in their Morgan dollar cabinet. Well worth a premium bid.
