Posted By admin  On 08.03.21

During the past several years I have been able to identify in a few online auctions one

  1. 1901 Silver Dollar E Pluribus Unum
  2. 1901 O Morgan Dollar Value
  3. 1901 Silver Dollar Value Chart
of the rarest Morgan silver dollar varieties, or 1901 Doubled Die Reverse (DDR), also known as the VAM-3 Shifted Eagle.
VAM is an acronym for Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis, numismatists who cataloged varieties in their Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars.

1901 Morgan Silver Dollar $1 (1901-P) - Choice AU - Nice Luster - Rare Date! $335.00 previous price $335.00. 1901 Morgan Silver Dollar VF+ Key. Value of 1901-O Morgan Silver Dollar Quality varies greatly with the 1901-O Morgan Silver Dollar issue, typical for a New Orleans Mint product. Circulation strikes are below average to average, with sharply struck specimens in the minority. Great quantities of 1901-O dollars were released in the 1960s and are plentiful even in Mint State. 1901-O Morgan Silver Dollar BU. From 1794 to 1878 the U.S. Mint never made large numbers of Silver Dollars. This was due to the fact that the Spanish Pieces of Eight were legal tender in the U.S. Up to 1859, and not many more silver dollars were required to fuel commerce.

The 1901 Morgan variety is considered one of the strongest double dies in the silver dollar series. A misalignment of hub and die shifted the eagle and doubled the lower eagle wings, tail feathers, arrow shafts and arrowheads. As in the photo above (click to expand) you can see the dramatic doubling of the tail feathers--just as strong as the more popular and common 1878 Morgan 7 over 8 Tail Feathers.

I first wrote about the 1901 DDR in a Home Hobbyist column. I won such a coin in a John Leonard auction with a bid of $240. He identified the variety in his Proxibid description. PCGS slabbed the coin EF40, worth $1,600.
Pluribus
On April 22, I spotted another 1901 DDR in an online Auction by Wallace session and won it with a bid of $275. It just graded EF45, worth $1,700. You can check the PCGS certification by clicking here.

This is yet another example of how numismatic knowledge empowers bidders in online auctions. The 1901 Morgan in lower grades is fairly common. Not so the Shifted Eagle reverse. The 1901 DDR that just graded was not listed as such in the Wallace auction description. I knew it, and that gave an edge over other bidders.
