Lot Description

1880/79-O Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-4. Top 100 Variety. Crossbar Overdate, Micro O. MS-65 (NGC). Frosty motifs and satiny, somewhat reflective fields form a modest but pleasing cameo contrast; the cartwheel luster is superb. Largely brilliant with a hint of pale golden toning. Die artifacts, remnants of a 7 and 9, in upper loop of second 8 and 0 respectively. A sharply struck Gem with bold eye appeal and aesthetically appealing surfaces.
