Proof Morgan Dollars
1878 8TF $1 PR67+ Cameo NGC. VAM-14.3, Doubled Bow. Ex: Chappell Collection. Most reverse design elements show light die doubling on this die pairing, which was also used for circulation-strike coinage. Proof 1878 Morgans are scarce in high grade regardless of variety, but eight tailfeather coins are rare in Registry-grade condition. Cameos are in the minority, and no Ultra/Deep Cameos are known. Seven of the eight top-grade Cameos are in NGC holders, and only two of them are Plus-designated. This piece is brilliant across the interiors with hints of gold at the rims. The strike is full, and each side offers stark field-device contrast. Even beneath a loupe, no distracting hairlines are observed. A magnificent top-of-the-Condition Census coin. Census: 7 in 67 Cameo (2 in 67+, 1 in 67 ★), 0 finer (3/17).
