1892 Morgan Silver Dollar VAM-1 – ANACS AU55
Add a classic late-19th-century Morgan Dollar variety to your collection with this 1892 Morgan Silver Dollar VAM-1, certified ANACS AU55. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1892 Morgan Dollar had a mintage of 1,036,000 coins, making it a relatively low-mintage Philadelphia issue and an attractive date for Morgan Dollar collectors.
Graded About Uncirculated 55 (AU55) by ANACS, this coin displays only light circulation wear while retaining strong overall design detail and much of its original Mint State character. AU55 is one of the highest About Uncirculated grades and offers an excellent combination of preservation, detail, and value.
The VAM-1 designation identifies a specific die variety attributed by Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis, whose VAM system catalogs Morgan Dollar die varieties. VAM-1 is listed as a normal die variety for the 1892 Philadelphia issue.
The obverse features Liberty wearing her iconic Phrygian cap, while the reverse showcases the familiar eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch. As a Philadelphia Mint issue, this Morgan Dollar carries no mintmark.
Struck in 90% silver, the Morgan Dollar weighs 26.73 grams and contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
This 1892 VAM-1 ANACS AU55 combines a lower-mintage Philadelphia Morgan Dollar, a documented VAM variety, and attractive About Uncirculated preservation. It would make an excellent addition to a Morgan Dollar date set, VAM collection, or classic U.S. silver collection.
