1878 8TF Morgan Dollar, PR66
Doubled Reverse, VAM-14.3
One-Year Type

1878 8TF $1 Doubled Bow, VAM-14.3, PR66 PCGS. CAC. Doubling on the bow and the lowest olive leaves readily identifies the VAM-14.3 variety. Regardless of variety, the first-year proofs in the Morgan series are unexpectedly elusive in high grades. Just three proofs are certified numerically finer at PCGS in the regular proof category from a mintage of 500 1878 8TF proofs. Among VAM-14.3 coins, this Premium Gem is likely the sole finest (although the variety is undesignated on the previous generation PCGS holder).

Mirrored fields are glassy-smooth and the lightly frosted devices are razor-sharp. Dappled reddish-gold, cerulean-blue, and pale gold hues imbue the nearly unblemished original proof surfaces. The strike is pinpoint sharp throughout and the eye appeal is impressive, confirmed by the CAC endorsement. Population (all 1878 8TF proof varieties): 10 in 66 (1 in 66+), 3 finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 2 finer (9/23).
