Near-Gem 1880 Morgan Dollar
Rare 8 Over 7 Variety, VAM-6

1880 $1 8 Over 7 MS64 PCGS Secure. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. The "spikes" of a 7 show above the top of the loop of the second 8 in the date. The crossbar of the 7 is also seen within the upper loop of the 8. From a huge mintage of 12.6 million pieces, the 1880 Morgan dollar is an available date in all grades, but the issue is R.6 as VAM-6. The present coin is an attractive Choice specimen, with strong mint luster and minimal handling marks for the grade. The brilliant centers yield to a concentric ring of gold and green toning at the rims. The striking details are sharp, except for some typical softness on the hair above Liberty's ear.(Registry values: P5)
