Description
1880-CC Morgan Dollar
MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
VAM-5, 8 Over High 7
Ex: Jack Lee
1880-CC $1 8 Over High 7, VAM-5, MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
PCGS. CAC. Ex: Lee-Bender. A Top 100 Variety. Veteran
dealer-collector Jack Lee was a well-known and beloved presence to
a generation of customers, fellow dealers, and numismatists of all
stripes. He assembled during his career three of the finest Morgan
dollar collections ever, as well as world-class collections in
several other series.VAM-5, the "8 Over High 7" variety, shows the crossbar of the underlying 7 within the top portion of the upper loop on the second 8, and the diagonal of the 7 in the right half of the lower loop. The bottom of the 7 protrudes from beneath the 8. This is a splendid all-brilliant Premium Gem with blatant field-device contrast and only a few tiny field ticks consistent with the grade. Eye appeal is every bit as good as expected for a Morgan dollar from the collection of Jack Lee, a man renowned for having some of the sharpest eyes in the numismatic world. This piece is tied with four other coins at PCGS for the finest Deep Mirror Prooflike 1880-CC dollar, regardless of die variety (7/22).
