1878 8TF $1 Pierced Eyelid, VAM-6, MS66 PCGS. Only a wisp of golden-gray toning accompanies this lustrous and well struck Premium Gem. The fields appear pristine, and the cheek displays only wispy grazes. VAM-6 is named after a delicate vertical die line through Liberty's eye lid northwest of the eye. As of (11/16), NGC and PCGS have certified hundreds of examples as VAM-6, with the single finest as MS65+. The present lot exceeds that grade, though the die marriage is unlisted on the PCGS insert.
