Offered here is a 1887/6 Morgan Silver Dollar, graded MS65+ by PCGS, and designated VAM-2, one of the Top 100 VAM varieties in the Morgan Dollar series. This scarce overdate variety is easily identified by the curved line beneath the base of the “7” in the date, a remnant of the underlying “6,” clearly confirming its 1887/6 status.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features the classic portrait of Liberty crowned with cotton and wheat — agricultural symbols of the United States — surrounded by 13 stars, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the reworked date. The reverse showcases the iconic heraldic eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, with the motto “In God We Trust” prominently displayed above.

This VAM-2 variety is a highly desirable find for variety specialists and Morgan Dollar enthusiasts alike. What elevates this particular coin is not just the rarity of the variety, but its high-end Gem grade of MS65+, awarded by PCGS, one of the most respected grading services in the world. The obverse is fully brilliant, with semireflective fields that highlight Liberty’s detailed profile, while the reverse features graceful arcs of gold, lavender, and russet toning — an aesthetic detail that sets this coin apart and likely supports its “Plus” designation.

The surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade, showing only minor grazes, and the strike is bold and well-centered, revealing crisp detail in the hair, cap, and eagle's feathers. Adding further desirability, this piece comes from The Badgerland Registry Set of Morgan Dollars, a collection renowned for its quality and eye appeal.
