Description
1891-CC 'Spitting Eagle' Morgan Dollar
VAM-3, A Top 100 Variety
MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1891-CC $1 Spitting Eagle, VAM-3, MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
PCGS. A Top 100 Variety. The 'Spitting Eagle' is a popular
Carson City variety created by a small die gouge in the field below
the eagle's beak. VAM-3 also exhibits a slightly doubled profile of
Liberty and the CC mintmark is strongly doubled. This splendid
near-Gem has frosted-white devices and deeply mirrored fields
bordered with a narrow band of iridescent amber, electric-blue and
lavender on the edges. The white-on-black contrast is considerable.
The strike is above average, showing only slight weakness on the
claws and the hair above the ear. This impressive Morgan shows only
minor marks typical of the grade. All varieties considered, PCGS
shows only six numerically finer examples in Deep Mirror Prooflike,
and for VAM-3 there are none finer (8/25).From The Ramundo Collection of Morgan and Peace Dollars.
