1878 8TF $1 Diagonal In 8, VAM-17, MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Both dies show lapping on VAM-17, which is most noticeable at Liberty's eye and the base of the eagle's right (facing) wing. Eight Tailfeathers 1878 Morgans are in high demand, not only as a one-year subtype, but as the first Morgans struck. This high-end Premium Gem displays brilliant surfaces with a bold central strike. Only the faintest grazes are evident upon close inspection. On the obverse, the fields show ample mirroring, while the reverse is thoroughly frosty. The coin is a true one-side prooflike piece and it has outstanding eye appeal overall. Any Premium Gem Eight Tailfeathers dollar is scarce, and higher-grade coins are virtually uncollectible.

1878-CC $1 MS66+ PCGS. VAM-9. The variety shows the CC mintmark tilted right, the point off star 4 on the right is broken, and die chips around WE TR in the motto are present. This prized first-year issue from the Old West Mint produced just over 2.2 million Morgan dollars and can be accessed through MS65 with relative ease. Finer examples become more challenging, while Superb Gems are prime condition rarities. This Plus-graded Premium Gem is richly frosted with brilliant surfaces and a sharp, nearly full strike. A spectacular cartwheel effect is experienced upon rotation. PCGS has graded just nine numerically finer examples (9/25).

1878-S $1 MS67 NGC. A brilliant, beautiful Superb Gem, with flashy snow-white surfaces that are free of all but the most minute marks. This San Francisco Mint issue is readily available in Mint State grades up to and including Gem. At MS66 pieces becomes a bit scarcer, and at MS67 examples become conditionally rare, with none numerically finer at NGC and only one MS68 representative at PCGS (9/25). This is an impressive example from the first year of the enormously popular Morgan dollar series and a serious candidate for type and Registry collectors.

1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-5. VAM-5 has slightly tripled stars, doubled 18, vertical polishing lines extending from the nostril, and the CC mintmark is slightly shifted left. This Carson City issue of just 756,000 pieces is the scarcest of the early issues from 1878 to 1885, as most were released into circulation. This attractive Choice example exhibits well-detailed design elements with just a trace of the usual blending on the hair above the ear. The lustrous surfaces show some reflectivity in the fields, and are lightly marked, consistent with the grade. A tiny wisp of lilac and caramel toning graces Liberty's cheek, otherwise the surfaces are brilliant and deliver fantastic eye appeal.

1879-S $1 MS68+ PCGS. CAC. The 1879-S is one of the most plentiful dates in the Morgan dollar series in high grade, making it an ideal choice for type collections. Nonetheless, that availability declines in MS68, and PCGS reports only 15 non-Prooflike pieces in this grade with a Plus designation. None are numerically finer at that service (9/25).

The current coin, tied for finest at PCGS, displays a full strike and dazzling cartwheel mint luster. Subtle field reflectivity joins the frosty dominating appearance. Liberty's cheek and the fields are pristine. CAC endorsement further sets this piece apart from its peers. CAC: 72 in 68, 0 finer (9/25). (PCGS# 7092)

The obverse displays clear 80/79 repunching in the date, with tiny ears of the underdigit 7 extending above the top loop of the 8 and further evidence of the 7 within the loops of the 8. The 9 shows clearly within the 0. This is a brilliant and richly frosted Premium Gem example, with none numerically finer at PCGS (9/25).

Formerly included in the PCGS #1 Finest Set of All Time for Morgan Dollars with Major Varieties, Circulation Strikes (1878-1921). Scintillating mint frost over entirely brilliant, exquisitely preserved surfaces produces unimprovable eye appeal. Only the curls over the ear show a touch of softness. VAM-3 exhibits a slightly doubled date, a dash under the second 8, and raised dots (from rusted die) below the wreath bow, within the large CC mintmark, and at the top left of the O in DOLLAR. This is an earlier die state of VAM-3, as polishing lines below 18 are still present.

1880-S $1 MS68+ PCGS. VAM-31. Certain Morgan dollar issues are known for their low mintages or their scarcity in high grades. The 1880-S is known for something quite different: its availability in the highest levels of Mint State. There are hundreds of coins certified in MS68 with thousands of coins right behind in MS67, making this San Francisco issue perfect for type representation. This example nearly joins the highest-certified coins in MS69, falling just a half point shy. That hardly translates into anything noticeable on the coin, which appears pristine. Cartwheel luster sweeps across completely brilliant, essentially unmarked surfaces. Fully struck and frosty. PCGS reports only five finer non-Prooflike submissions (9/25). VAM-31 has a slightly doubled date and the S mintmark is large and tilted left.

This Plus-graded Premium Gem presents exceptional eye appeal with luminous luster on brilliant surfaces that offer a vibrant cartwheel effect. While generally well-struck, this piece shows just a touch of softness on the hair over the ear and the eagle's legs and talons. Abrasions are few and insignificant, and PCGS reports only 12 numerically finer examples (9/25).

In fact, PCGS only shows one numerically finer piece in non-Prooflike, and NGC shows no finer examples (9/25).

1881-S $1 MS68+ PCGS. CAC. For type collectors, the 1881-S and other early San Francisco issues are among the best candidates to find a high-grade coin. The 1881-S is collectible in MS68 with several hundred pieces known, but collectors seeking the absolute best will need to look to the several dozen MS68+ coins certified, or one of the few MS69 pieces. The latter are out of reach for most collectors, but the current offering presents collectors with an opportunity to acquire one of the former. Moreover, this MS68+ coin is CAC endorsed, rendering it a top choice for type collections.

A full strike and radiant cartwheel luster adorn this brilliant top-tier example, including a pristine cheek and fields. Indeed, one would be hard-pressed to differentiate this coin from one of the few MS69s known. Population: 28 in 68+, 2 finer. CAC: 140 in 68, 1 finer (9/25). (PCGS# 7130)

1882-O $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. VAM-22. This die pairing shows the 882 in the date doubled, along with the letters UN-ED STATES OF AMERICA, R of DOLLAR, both reverse stars, the motto, the tip of eagle's right wing, and the top outside of the right wreath. The New Orleans Mint struck just over 6 million silver dollars in 1882. Although Mint State examples are plentiful through MS65, Premium Gem pieces become conditionally scarce, and finer coins are extremely rare. This Premium Gem is remarkably well-struck, with razor-sharp details and overall quality that has earned both the Plus-grade designation from PCGS and CAC endorsement. Brilliant surfaces reveal only a couple tiny die grease marks, and rich, luminous luster contributes to an extraordinary cartwheel effect. PCGS shows only eight numerically finer pieces (9/25).
