1887/6-O Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.,Fully lustrous with an overall bold strike, this lovely near-Gem is brilliant with just very light gold here and there on the obverse. At the same time that the Philadelphia Mint reworked some 1886-dated dies for its own 1887 coinage, some overdated dies were shipped to the New Orleans facility where the 1887/6-O overdate was struck. The latter variety was discovered in 1972 by Bob Riethe, a year after Ted F. Clarks discovery of the 1887/6. The New Orleans Mint issue is the scarcer of these two overdates, especially in the finer Mint State grades, as here.,From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from John B. Hamrick & Co., October 2007; via Stacks.,
