(About The Images)
1878 7/8TF (VAM-37) GSA Soft Pack NGC MS-62. 1878 7/8TF (VAM-37) GSA Soft Pack NGC MS-62.
Lot Title: 1878 7/8TF (VAM-37) GSA Soft Pack NGC MS-62.
Description: The Carson City dollars for 1878 are far more common in the soft pack than the almost-impossible Philadelphia issues, this being a 7/8 TF (so-called "weak" not attributed by NGC). NGC correctly states MS-62, but the GSA office likely assigned "circulated" status due to several small, sharp ticks on the obverse. (PCGS# 007078)

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $800.00
High Estimate: $1,000.00

1878 7/8TF Strong NGC MS-64.

1878 7/8TF Strong NGC MS-63+ PL, and an 1896 NGC MS-64 PL.
Mike Wrinkle Collection. Both are bright white and utterly similar in appearance, despite the half-grade discrepancy. 1878-S shows evidence of a nice doubled-die obverse in this two coin lot.
673The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$2,700.00
1878 7/8TF Strong. PCGS MS-65 CAC.

1878 7/8TF NGC MS-63, and an 1898-S NGC MS-63.

1878 7/8TF (Strong TF) and 1888. PCGS.

740The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$170.00
1878 7/8TF Photo-Certified Coin Institute. MS-61.

Partial roll 1878 7/8 TF MS-60 - 62
A partial roll of 1878 7/8 TF Morgan dollars. Most are brilliant, but none is sufficiently devoid of bagmarks to qualify as being fully "choice". Thirteen pieces.
703The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$575.00
Three 1878 7/8TF.
All three of these Morgans are 1878 7/8 TF varieties. The VAM-36 is an NGC MS-62 PL, the VAM-37 is an ICG MS-62, and the VAM-38 is an NGC MS-64. Technically, the VAM-38 is considered a 7/5 TF, and...

1878 7/8TF. PCGS MS-64 Strong.

1878 7/8TF. Strong. PCGS MS-63.
This specimen's delicate frosty white surfaces are blanketed with a whisper of iridescence. A very light sprinkling of ticks and scuffs are not obtrusive on this well-defined strike.

1878 7/8TF Strong. PCGS MS-64.
This is the "Strong" variety of this popular, first year of issue Dollar. The coin is fully struck and highly lustrous. It is a must have if you are working on a high grade dollar set.
