Morgan Dollars
1878 8TF $1 Wild Eye, VAM-14.11, MS63 NGC. A Top 100 Variety. According to VAMWorld.com, this variety "is an ultra rarity with perhaps a dozen known. ... The VAM-14.11 is defined by two 'spikes' in front of the eye. The first is upward short and square-ended. The second is longer downward and sharply pointed. The letters in 'E PLURIBUS' are all doubled, showing small notches on the left serifs." The certification totals at NGC and PCGS suggests a survivorship closer to 25 or 30 coins This Select first-year dollar is entirely brilliant and fully struck. The obverse features partial contrast. Small marks over each side are unimportant relative to the significance of this offering. Census: 2 in 63, 3 finer (11/16).
