Description
Extraordinary 1880-CC 8 over 7 Dollar
VAM-6, MS64 Deep Prooflike
1880-CC $1 8 Over Low 7 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. CAC.
VAM 6. A Top 100 Variety. The second 8 in the date has a clear and
obvious 7 beneath, and that digit is low in relation to the 8.
Short ears are visible at the top outside of the second 8, and
slight projections above the 0 remain from a previous 9. Two
prominent die lines on the reverse confirm the attribution. As one
of the clearest overdates in the entire Morgan dollar series, the
1880-CC VAM-6 overdate is extremely popular with collectors. This
example is a lovely Deep Prooflike piece that NGC has certified as
MS64. Both sides have traces of iridescent peripheral toning, with
otherwise brilliant silver surfaces. The fields are fully mirrored
around lustrous devices with bright cameo contrast. NGC has only
attributed 12 Deep Prooflike examples as VAM-6, with MS64 the
finest of those. Others such as the present piece also exist in
unattributed holders. All Deep Prooflike 1880-CC Morgan dollars are
elusive, with just 390 certified by NGC out of nearly 15,000 graded
of the date. For the variety specialist, the present piece
represents an extraordinary opportunity.(Registry values: P4)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 97105, GSID# 7717)
