Item Description

Frosty Lustrous and Popular First Year and First Variety Issued, 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar with 8 Tail Feathers graded PCGS MS62.
I had initially sent this in back in late 2023, and upon receiving it back, I saw the doubling on the date and after a little reserach, I attributed this as VAM19 and resubmiited it to PCGS for Variety Attribution and PCGS confirmed my suspicion and attributed the holder accordingly!

We have confirmed this to be VAM 19 after some research. All the pickup points and die markers line up most notably:
Discovered by Leroy Van Allen, December 1965.
19 II/I 2 A2/A1b (Doubled Date) (180)
Reverse A2/A1b - Doubled inside of wreath, N of ONE, DOLLAR and right star with AR tripled at bottom. Partial small feather added on eagle's right side between leg and bottom of wing. Top of wreath overpolished so that the tip of leaf appears to be an extra berry on the left side. Eagle's lower and upper beak are doubled. Top arrow head and shaft doubled.
DPIS – In 1878 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position.
The coin in the photos is the exact coin you will receive.
