Lot #651 - 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 PCGS MS-64 CAC
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-4 properly designates that the reverse is in the style of 1878 with feathers running parallel to the arrow shaft. While not truly fully struck, this gleaming Arctic-white example features superior sharpness as well as a deft touch of cameo effect despite fully lustrous fields. The reverse may grade gem all by itself while delicate abrasions visit the cheek and obverse left field to help determine grade.

Lot #691 - 1901 CACG MS-61
Hammer: $4,300
Silver Dollar-Morgan
The 1901 suffers a double whammy of extensive circulation and mediocre production such that even mint-state pieces rarely show up "nice". All in all, at MS-61, this is a decent example that manages some noticeable windmill effect. Plentiful bagmarks scatter about, but none is individually overly intrusive on the eye. To its credit, nicer toning has evolved, starting with a nice mixture sea-blue, magenta-orange and rose at the rims and passing into predominant coral-rose nearer the centers.
