1888-O $1 Scarface MS63 PCGS. VAM 1B. A Top 100 Variet
<B>1888-O $1 Scarface MS63 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: Jackson Hole. VAM 1B. A Top 100 Variety. This is one of the most spectacular die cracks on any Morgan silver dollar. In fact, Bill Fivaz wrote in his <I>Cherrypickers' Guide</B></I> that this is the largest die crack on any Morgan dollar. The obverse die has a bisecting crack through the period between E and P, to Liberty's nose, with a heavy continuation entirely across Liberty's profile to the lower curls. This is an extremely rare variety with few survivors. Typically, a single coinage die lasted for 100,000 to 200,000 impressions, but the actual number of coins produced after the die cracked is doubtless quite small. Only 40 of them have been certified by PCGS, with a single MS64 coin the finest they have seen. Population: 10 in 63, 1 finer (2/07).<BR><I>From The Jackson Hole Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
