1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent--Reverse Misaligned Die--AU58 NGC. The reverse is widely misaligned, perhaps 3-4%, while the obverse is perfectly centered. However, there is a gap in the obverse rim between 4 and 5 o'clock, cause unknown. Light friction is seen over the highpoints with both sides medium brown. Sharply struck on the reverse, the obverse shows weakness on the eagle's tailfeathers, as often seen.

1959 25C Washington Quarter--Struck on a Five Cent Planchet--MS65 ANACS. A light apricot Gem with satin luster and well preserved surfaces. All design details are intact, but peripheral legends, especially QUARTER DOLLAR, are distorted from metal flow toward the rim. This is diagnostic for a wrong planchet error, since the smaller Jefferson nickel planchet was insufficient to fill the dies and thus was not restrained by the collar die.

1878 8TF $1--Cleaned--ANACS. AU Details. Net XF45. VAM-9. A Top 100 Variety. One of the toughest 8 Tail Feather varieties, VAM-9 is considered by many specialists to be the first Morgan dollar variety struck, patterns excluded. This nearly untoned and moderately abraded example is somewhat glossy and lightly hairlined, but since only a few Mint State pieces are known, it serves as a collectible alternative. (PCGS# 7072)

Auction 412 | Lot 986 » Silver and Related Dollars » Morgan Dollars

1878-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. Ex: NFL Set. Perhaps the most romanticized coinage facility in U.S. history, the Carson City Mint began Morgan Dollar production in 1878 with a delivery of 2.2 million coins. This issue was prepared with great care, and most Mint State survivors, the present example included, possess richly frosted surfaces and razor sharp striking definition. Extensive bagmarks are, however, a problem for this issue, and locating even an MS65 representative is not as easy a task as it is for the 1882-1884 CC-mint deliveries. The present example is an extraordinary Gem, and the surfaces are uncommonly smooth for a Silver Dollar of any date. A fresh, virtually untoned sheen further enhances this coin's eye appeal. Population: 185 in 66, 4 finer (1/06).

Auction 412 | Lot 987 » Silver and Related Dollars » Morgan Dollars

1878-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. The 1878-CC Morgan dollar remains fairly easy to locate in the lower ranges of Mint State, especially from MS60 to MS63, and the vast majority are heavily bagmarked. Premium Gem examples, such as the one offered here, are somewhat more challenging, and finer-graded coins are rare. Bright, lustrous surfaces have a silver-gray cast. The fields are somewhat prooflike, and exhibit occasional light die polish lines. Excellent definition is visible on the design elements, including virtual clarity in the hair over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. A couple of light abrasions at Liberty's eyebrow and luster grazes on the cheek preclude a higher grade. PCGS has certified a mere four coins finer (1/06).

1878-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Deep Mirror Prooflike examples of this issue are clearly in the minority among surviving specimens. Most '78-CC dollars have frosty silver luster. This Gem quality example is tied for the finest certified by NGC. Like so many others, this example has brilliant silver luster on the devices and deeply reflective fields, creating a highly desirable cameo appearance. Light gold toning along the borders on both sides completes a pretty picture. This examples is one of the most aesthetically pleasing 1878-CC Morgan dollars we have handled.
