Lot Description

This is a well defined, highly lustrous Morgan dollar with modestly semi-reflective fields and satiny devices. Brilliant. This overdate was created when the Philadelphia Mint took some unused 1886-dated dies, lightly resurfaced them and entered an 1887 date for use in that year's production. The first example was publicized by California numismatist Ted F. Clark in November 1971. This example shows traces of the 6 underdigit both before and after the base of the primary digit 7.
