***Auction Highlight*** 1901-p Vam 3 Top 100 WOW DDR I5 R6 Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms61 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENTIRE AUCTION - VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Not only is this an extremely important doubled die variety, but it is also a rare date, especially in Mint State grades. Sometimes called the "Shifted Eagle" variety, the VAM-3 is the most obvious of several 1901 doubled reverse coins. This is the only true doubled die example, as the other varieties are actually doubled hub pieces, with the die produced by an impression of the old (pre-1900) hub overlapped by an impression of the new hub.
Doubling is most prominent on the arrows and tail feathers, appearing quite similar to the 1878 doubled tail feather varieties. Additional doubling can be seen along the lower edge of the eagle's beak, and elsewhere, including the branch, arrows, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
Although not fully struck, this piece has good detail with brilliant satin luster on each side. A few faint splashes of rose color appear on the otherwise untoned surfaces. Less than 10 known mint state examples exist. This ms61 is the first example I have ever held in my hand let alone had the honor of bringing to auction. I have included a picture of another ms61 example for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
