Description
- silver
Flatly struck, which is not uncommon for the issue; the obverse deeply toned with colors blending from deep russet to honey to greenish-blues, the reverse subdued but untoned. Not only is the fragment of the bottom loop of the 6 visible but a portion of the upward swell as well. Few bagmarks on the reverse, and those on the obverse are well camouflaged by the toning. A scarce coin this well preserved; as Bowers noted in his Encyclopedia, the coin selected for the 1990-91 PCGS tour of the finest Morgan dollars was graded MS 64, as is the present specimen; in 1992, Jack Lee's only example graded PCGS MS 63 (and he noted only one finer in existence at the time).
Catalogue Note
