- 1888-O Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-1B. Top 100 Variety. Scarface. MS-62 (PCGS). A wholly original and essentially untoned example, both sides exhibit a subdued silver-gray appearance. With a satin texture throughout, the surfaces appear uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. The overall strike is suitably bold in a New Orleans Mint silver dollar from the late 1880s, and the diagnostic die break on Liberty's cheek is clear and readily appreciable. The 1888-O VAM-1B variety takes its Scarface name from the pronounced die break that bisects Liberty's cheek. According to Morgan dollar variety experts Michael S. Fey and Jeff Oxman (The Top 100 Morgan Dollar Varieties: The VAM Keys, 1997), "The VAM-1B is the most dramatic die break in the Morgan dollar series. Rare in all grades." As one of the relatively few Mint State examples known to PCGS, the significance of this coin to advanced silver dollar variety collectors cannot be overstated. Die Stage 10, the terminal stage for the variety. PCGS Population: 69; 47 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 87184. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
