- Finest PCGS-Certified Prooflike 1878 VAM-44 Dollar VAMWorld: "King of VAMs" 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar. 7/8 Tailfeathers. Weak. VAM-44. Top 100 Variety. 7/5 Tailfeathers, Tripled Blossoms. MS-63 PL (PCGS). CAC. A lovely coin irrespective of date or variety, both sides exhibit blushes of champagne-apricot peripheral iridescence to otherwise silver-tinged surfaces. The design elements are boldly impressed, softly frosted in finish, and set against a backdrop of glowing reflectivity in the fields. Wispy handling marks do little more than define the MS-63 numeric grade assigned by PCGS, and none affect the strong eye appeal. Writing in the 1997 reference The Top 100 Morgan Dollar Varieties: The VAM Keys, Michael S. Fey and Jeff Oxman state that the 1878 VAM-44 is "Considered by most specialists to be the Number One Morgan dollar variety." The VAMWorld website echoes this sentiment by labeling this variety as the "King of VAMs". For the ultimate collector in this discipline, this single finest PCGS-certified example in the PL category is a must-have coin. We anticipate fierce competition for this offering, and recommend the most aggressive bidding strategy. PCGS Population (VAM-44 attribution only): 1; 0 finer in this category.
