1880-O Morgan Dollar, MS65
VAM-48, 'Hangnail' Top 100 Variety

1880-O $1 Hangnail, VAM-48, MS65 PCGS. Ex: Duke's Dollars. A Top 100 Variety. Two 1880-O VAMs utilize the "Hangnail" reverse, which shows a heavy die gouge extending down from the eagle's left (facing) talons, through the fletchings and tailfeathers. VAM-48 is the more plentiful of these two varieties, having a normal date (VAM-49 has an overdate feature). Attributed VAM-48 examples are scarce in Mint State and rare in MS64; this Gem example is the sole finest VAM-48 attributed at PCGS, making it an essential acquisition for advanced Registry collectors.

Luster is brilliant, yielding a strong cartwheel effect while illuminating boldly struck design elements. Neither side exhibits significant abrasions, and overall eye appeal is excellent.
