Silver Dollar, 1894, NGC MS 65 CAC

A well struck example of this low mintage date, with virtually full detail of all the devices. There are few minor marks, a light scuff on Liberty’s cheek and a mark below the TE of STATES on the reverse serve as identifiers. The surfaces are hard, with ample frost beneath a thin pale creamlike hue; the beading on both sides exhibits a band of blue-green to champagne toning. The combined auction records of NGC and PCGS (along with an examination of Dannreuther and Garrett’s compilation of “Significant Auction Records” 1995-2000) list no NGC MS 65 examples of this date ever having been offered at auction. A splendid example. One of the finest known of the date certified by NGC.

Certificate number: 182626-001 (NGC 5 holder). Of the more than 3,700 times NGC has graded examples of the date five were certified as MS 65 and none finer; PCGS has graded four examples MS 66 and a single 66+ as their finest. CAC has certified eight at this level and only three (MS 66) finer. (02-18)
