Discover one of the most recognizable Morgan Dollar die varieties with the 1890-O Morgan Silver Dollar $1 Hot 50 VAM 10 Comet Variety PCGS MS 62. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this collectible silver dollar contains 0.7734 troy oz of .900 fine silver and features the distinctive Comet die gouge that sets it apart from standard 1890-O issues. Professionally authenticated and graded MS 62 by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), this coin combines American numismatic history with an intriguing minting variety.
The VAM 10 Comet Variety is named for a prominent die gouge extending diagonally through the obverse field below the date. This raised feature resembles a comet streaking across the coin's surface, making it one of the more visually distinctive Morgan Dollar varieties. The marking originated from damage to the coin die during production, rather than damage to an individual coin after striking.
This variety is included in the Hot 50 Morgan Dollar VAM list, a recognized group of interesting and collectible die varieties. The VAM classification system was developed by Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis to identify and catalog Morgan and Peace Dollar die variations.
