Lot Description

1889-O Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-6. Top 100 Variety. Repunched Date, Doubled Date. MS-65 (PCGS). Brilliant, highly lustrous surfaces exhibit a smooth satin to softly frosted texture overall. Striking detail is uncommonly sharp for the issue, close inspection with a loupe revealing particularly crisp repunching to the first two digits in the date. Michael S. Fey and Jeff Oxman (1997) describe the 1889-O VAM-6 as, "One of the most dramatic Morgan dollar repunched dates." As one of the finest examples certified by PCGS, the significance of this Gem for specialists can hardly be overstated. Provenance: From the Rick Collection, Part I. PCGS Population (VAM-6 attribution only): just 3; 0 finer. PCGS# 133933. NGC ID: 255A. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
