Lot Description

Stunning strike and condition rarity for this pronounced overdate in the early Morgan dollar series. Brilliant silver-white surfaces allow ready appreciation of bold cameo contrast between frosty devices and highly reflective fields. Fully struck throughout and smooth enough to evoke thoughts of aa full Gem Mint State grade. Outstanding!<p>A bold remnant of the 7 within the upper loop of the second digit 8 confirms this as one of the Crossbar Overdates of the issue (the other is VAM-5, with a Medium Oval O mintmark). Whether you are a collector specializing in Prooflike Morgan dollars or VAM varieties within this series, the offered coin simply cannot be improved upon and is fully deserving of an aggressive bidding strategy.
