<B>1880-CC $1 8/7 Reverse of 1878 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> VAM-7. A less dramatic overdate variety than some of the others from the Carson City Mint this year. VAM-7 is distinguished by the presence of a slight dash under the second 8 in the date. This Reverse of 1878 has seven tail feathers, a concave eagle's breast, parallel arrow feathers, and small CC. David Bowers, in his Silver and Trade dollar reference work (1993), says: "Probably about 10% to 20% of surviving 1880-CC Morgan dollars in Mint State are of this type.<BR> A well directed strike imparts excellent definition to the design elements of this Premium Gem example, including the hair over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. Highly lustrous surfaces are essentially untoned and well cared for, revealing just a few minor luster grazes.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
