Description
Outstanding 1890-CC 'Tail Bar' Dollar
VAM-4, MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1890-CC $1 Tail Bar MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. VAM-4. A
Top 100 Variety. This well-known variety features a prominent die
gouge at the bottom of the eagle's tailfeathers. While not rare in
the absolute sense, it is scarce in high grades. The Fey-Oxman
second edition of the Top 100 VAM varieties, published in 1997,
stated that Deep Mirror Prooflike specimens were unknown, and the
finest example they listed was MS64 Prooflike. Since that book was
published, Heritage has offered fewer than a half-dozen Deep Mirror
Prooflike examples.The deeply mirrored fields show impressive black-and-white cameo contrast against the icy-frosted devices. Peppered abrasions preclude a Gem grade. This powerfully struck specimen would make an excellent addition to any top Morgan dollar collection.(Registry values: P6)
