<B>1887/6 $1 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. An unknown number of the 20.2 million Morgan dollars that the Philadelphia Mint delivered in 1887 were struck from an obverse die that had previously been prepared for 1886 production. Sometime in late 1886, when the Mint started to prepare dies for 1887 coinage, the Engraving Department resurfaced an 1886-dated die and punched a 7 over the 6. This variety was first publicized by Ted Clark in November 1971. Today, several thousand Mint State 1887/6 dollars are believed extant, but the vast majority grade no finer than MS63. This uncommonly smooth representative is every bit the Gem. The surfaces are drenched in frosty luster, and we can find few abrasions of any size. Lightly patinated in silver-gray shades, both sides are well above average in terms of striking definition. <BR><I>From The Jimmy G.
