November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: Stunning Top-Pop DMPL 1887/6 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. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
