Description
Struck in 1878 as part of the inaugural Morgan Dollar series, this AU 50 example is certified by ANACS and presented in their coveted soapbox holder. The coin retains soft cartwheel luster and an antique-silver patina, with light, even wear confined to Liberty’s cheek and the eagle’s breast. All key design elements—including the slanted top arrow feathers of the “Reverse of ’79” hub—are sharply defined. VAM-220 is a Top 100 variety prized for its diagnostic over-polished nostril and doubled reverse feathers, making this piece a must-have for Morgan variety collectors.
