Description
'Ultra-Rare' 1878 8TF Dollar, VAM 14.7
'Flake on Ear,' MS63 Prooflike
1878 8TF $1 MS63 Prooflike PCGS. Flake on Ear, VAM-14.7. A
Hit List 40 Variety. www.VAMWorld.com lists this variety as
"ultra-rare." The key diagnostic is a tiny flake on the back of the
ear, with a tiny die line that connects to a strand of hair.
Several of the obverse stars show doubling, and the date shows
minor doubling as well. A couple of heavy die cracks appear on the
obverse, including a branching one near the date. On the reverse
the letters in UNITED are strongly doubled. This piece is
silver-white with excellent reflectivity, and only a few minor
ticks consistent with the Select grade. The VAMWorld.com site says
that only seven specimens are confirmed.(Registry values: P5, N491)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 253H, PCGS# 7073, GSID# 7445)
