1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878, VAM-42, MS64 PCGS. A Top 100 Variety. Soft lunar-silver luster is displayed on this piece with lightly reflective fields accompanied by a mesmerizing cartwheel effect. There are some minor marks, including a scratch on the right (facing) wing of the eagle, but they are non-debilitating to the distinct eye appeal. This example is largely well-struck with the typical strike weakness in the breast feathers. From The Brown Family Collection. HID06601242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
