Lot Description

1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar. Reverse of 1878. Top 100 Variety. MS-65 PL (NGC). A sharply struck example of this elusive variety, with frosty motifs and reflective fields. Full mint brilliance is the order of the day. The variety with a parallel arrow feather (PAF) in the bundle of arrows on the reverse; the variety with slanting arrow feather (SAF) in that position is many times more common than the presently offered variety. Among the three finest PL examples of this VAM ""Top 100"" date certified by NGC.
