Lot 985		1888 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. A rare date to locate in cameo proof, only 1 has been graded as such by NGC, with 6 graded higher. The cameo proofs are special, they have abundant frost on the devices and deeply mirrored fields. This one has a whisper of gold toning around the periphery and problem free surfaces. We do note minor hairlines in the fields, as always seen on these proof coins of the period. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 986		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55. This coin is untoned and natural in appearance. The surfaces retain some luster and we note very little wear. Moderate handling marks expected from handling, and this example would fit nicely in a mint state collection. Apparently most of the mintage was melted, and Breen estimates that between 1,000 and 3,000 were found in the Treasury hoard which was released in the 1960s. If you are a collector, then you will like this coin. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,335
Lot 987		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. VF-25. Nice for the grade, this classic rarity is seldom offered in high grades, even in circulated grades! This one has decent steel gray toning and a couple of colorful spots near the right obverse stars. A bit of wear from new, but better than the conservative grade noted. Estimated Value $375 - 425. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $776
Lot 988		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. Sharpness of VF-30 but damaged. This one has some minor damage around UNITED on the reverse and has been harshly cleaned and worked on in that area. Inspection recommended, and there are surface scratches too. A rare date that is seldom encountered. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 989		1889-O Morgan Dollar. MS-64. Golden sunset toning on the obverse, while the reverse is much deeper in the toning department, with bluish gray colors brushed about. A rare date in high grade. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details	Realized $276

Lot 996		1890-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Blazing white luster and untoned. Scarce any better, and perfect for the date collector. Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details	Realized $127
Lot 997		1891 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. One of the finest to survive from the entire coinage of proofs from 1891. When Philadelphia prepares the dies for each year, the first few have especially strong cameo contrast, as seen on this coin. The fields are deep-space black, while the devices are frosty and white. Over the decades, this coin has toned around the periphery with gold. The surfaces remain pristine, without the usual problem hairlines and virtually no signs of handling. NGC has graded just 2 this high in the Cameo, with 3 graded higher, including just 1 coin as Ultra Cameo. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 998		1891 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Here is one of the finest known of this date. PCGS has graded just 43 this high with a single coin graded higher. Any serious collector should avail themselves of this opportunity to purchase a true gem. Clean fields and face on Liberty, and a good strike too, keep this one in the gem class, when most others fall well below. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,750
Lot 999		1891-O Morgan Dollar. MS-63. Nice surfaces and luster on this scarce date. Estimated Value $150 - 170. View details	Realized $196
Lot 1000		1891-S Morgan Dollar. SEGS graded MS-64 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck by the dies, but we note that the dies are very shallow on the reverse, with the tops of UNITED weak from die polishing and lapping. Frosty white on the devices and untoned. More handling marks than one would expect for the grade, which are magnified by the mirror fields. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details	Unsold
Lot 1001		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Flashy and white, untoned and pleasing. PCGS has graded 108 this high, with a single coin graded higher. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,680
Lot 1002		1892 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. A totally white frosty mint specimen. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1003		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Clean for the grade, with smooth fields and a clean cheek on Liberty. Untoned and with abundant luster. Estimated Value $375 - 425. View details	Realized $426
Lot 1004		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-63 Plus, Deep Mirror Prooflike. A rare coin in mint state, this lovely deep mirror prooflike has clean surfaces, no toning, and excellent frost on the devices. Liberty's cheek is particularly clean, and the fields have few signs of handling on their delicate mirror surfaces. Worth a good bid. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1005		Withdrawn	Unsold
Lot 1006		1892-S Morgan Dollar. This group includes 1892-S; 1894-O; 1897-O and 1899, grading VG to AU. Only the 1894-O is low grade, the others are nice, high grade examples of their respective scarce dates. Lot of 4 coins. Estimated Value $150 - 175. View details	Unsold
Lot 1007		1893 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Bright white and untoned, with well struck hair over Liberty's ear and excellent detail on the breast feathers. The surfaces are quite nice on this near gem, with a fresh cheek on Liberty and excellent surrounding fields. Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1008		1893 Morgan Dollar. EF-45. Decent surfaces for a lightly circulated coin. Estimated Value $100 - 130. View details	Realized $144
Lot 1009		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. EF-40. Lightly cleaned long ago, this one has some minor ticks around the rim from limited circulation. One of the rare dates in the Morgan dollar series, and worth a bid from the date collector. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $426
Lot 1010		1893-O Morgan Dollar. VF-30. Probably cleaned long ago, but steel gray now and with nice surfaces. Estimated Value $90 - 110. View details	Realized $121
Lot 1011		1893-S Morgan Dollar. VF-25. The Queen of the Morgans, the 1893-S is one of the true rarities in this most popular series. With all the millions of dollars held over the years, no bags of this date turned up, and hence few were saved. During 1893, the United States ecomony suffered a sharp downturn, many people could not afford to save such a coin, and virtually all were spent. This one is no exception, the surfaces show normal handling marks for a circulated coin, but none are deep or distracting. Only 100,000 were coined, and most were melted under the Pittman Act in 1918. It is probable that only 3,000 to 4,000 exist, if the Population Reports are any guide, from the original mintage. Finding a nice circulated example is a real challenge for most collectors. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,700. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
