1878 8TF. NGC MS-64. 1878 8TF. NGC MS-64.
Lot Title: 1878 8TF. NGC MS-64.
Description: VAM-2 is not indicated on the NGC insert, but doubling of the reverse is obvious on "In God W", while most of the reverse lettering displays attractive doubling as well. Aside from variety characteristics, this is an exceptional Morgan dollar, with sweet cola-brown peripheral tone that dims to faded sienna nearer the central areas, and the highly reflective fields encourage significant prooflike effect. Truly, "cola" is the closest color your cataloger can think of to describe the color! A simply delicious and refreshingly beautiful coin.
Low Estimate: $310.00

1878 8TF. NGC MS-64.

1878 8TF. MS-63 DMPL.

1878 8TF. NGC MS-65.

900The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,450.00
1878 8TF Paramount MS-65.
