- 1895-S Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-4. Top 100 Variety. S/Horizontal S. MS-62 PL (PCGS). CAC. Both sides of this lovely example are lightly toned in iridescent golden-apricot that appears to drift toward the borders. The strike is sharp to full throughout the design, and the surfaces are uncommonly smooth both for the issue and the assigned grade. The low mintage 1895-S Morgan dollar was produced to the extent of just 400,000 pieces, and it is one of the most challenging issues of its type to locate in attractive Mint State preservation, as here. The popular VAM-4 attribution of this issue is the only S/Horizontal S variety in the entire Morgan silver dollar series of 1878 to 1921, and it is elusive at all levels of Uncirculated preservation. Interestingly, most of the Mint State survivors of this variety are Prooflike, but such coins are rare in an absolute sense and eagerly sought by advanced VAM variety collectors. PCGS Population (VAM-4 attribution only): 5; 7 finer in this category (MS-64 PL finest). PCGS# 43807. NGC ID: 255Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
