View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,524
Lot 640		1884-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53. A coin that barely circulated as it retains almost all of the original mint luster and is now ringed with a light splash of gold at the periphery. Sharp, and about as nice as this date is ever found, as virtually the entire mintage entered circulation at least for a time. PCGS has graded a total of 164 in various mint state grades of this date, compared with many bags of mint state grades of most other dates. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details	Realized $334

Lot 642		1885-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62 Deep Mirror Prooflike Premium Quality. Ocean deep mirror fields on this one against which the devices are heavily frosted, producing the desired cameo appearance that appeals to the eye. In this grade, it won't break the bank, and hence we recommend this piece to the series Morgan dollar collector. Estimated Value $225 - 275. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 643		1885-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-60+. Flashy and bright. Estimated Value $200 - 225. View details	Realized $288
Lot 644		1885-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. If you want in intensely toned Morgan, but don't have to have a near perfect gem, then here is the coin for you. Frankly, there aren't many ticks on this coin and given the generally clean cheek on Liberty it could have graded higher. Regardless, it's the colors that give this one the premium, and we're certain the rainbow bands of iridescent shades will dazzle your eyes. Light gold on the left obverse, bright reddish gold through Liberty's face, dark red then blue through her head and ear, back to red through her hair and dark gray at the back behind her head. Estimated Value $700 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 645		1885-O Morgan Dollar. *NGC graded MS-63"" holder.** Another coin that must be seen to be appreciated, with yellow blue and fuchsia predominating in organized bands on the obverse, with splendid luster and satiny surfaces. Typical strike for the year, with minor weakness at the centers. As expected, the reverse is white. Unusually intense colors, which more than offset the moderate grade. Note this coin is in an NGC "*" holder, awarded for high eye appeal. Estimated Value $700 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,121
Lot 646		1885-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Deep and intense gold toning darkening to stormy red and blue at the rims, lighter on Liberty's cheek.

Mostly white on the reverse, save for peripheral gold. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 647		1885-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Old envelope toning here, with a square of gold over Liberty's head, bordered by blue and a line of darker gold, with more blues and golds. Check it out. Estimated Value $250 - 300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518

Lot 651		1886 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Rainbow toned on the obverse with dark iridescent greens and golds, with sunset red predominating.

Lot 652		1886 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Vibrant reddish gold with some blues on the cap obverse toning. As a bonus, all this dazzling color resides on a knock-out gem Morgan, with well preserved surfaces as well. The reverse is white and basically untoned. The colors on this one are not as multifaceted as some of the others in this group, but they certainly have their appeal. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300
Lot 653		1886 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Satiny luster beneath a dizzying array of blues, golds, and lavenders on the obverse, with pristine surfaces as well. Ringed in gold on the otherwise white reverse. Estimated Value $700-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150

Lot 660		1887 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Stunning rainbow toning on the right side of the obverse, ranging from deep blue at the rims to gold to light golden blue through her hair, steel gray elsewhere, white on the reverse. Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details	Realized $127
Lot 661		1887-O Morgan Dollar. 7 over 6. PCGS graded MS-64. A gorgeous yellow green toned obverse here, and more golden on the reverse over luster. Rare in all mint state grades, and this is tied for the finest graded by PCGS, in fact, only 44 have been graded this high, and naturally, none are graded higher! The strike is pretty typical for this date, slightly weak at the centers on the hair over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast, but sharp elsewhere. After careful examination of the surfaces, we feel this coin is very high end for the grade, as only faint signs of contact can be found. The overdate feature is seen as a thin line extending off to the right from the 7 in the date. Estimated Value $5,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,210
Lot 662		1888 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. The obverse is toned with a huge splash of aqua green near Liberty's face which quickly changes to intense reddish gold, and fades to lighter gold as the colors slide across the obverse, the reverse white save for a ring of gold at the periphery. Particularly bold colors here, and will no doubt require a particularly bold bid to capture this prize. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 663		1888 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Intense red, blue and gold tones on the obverse, the reverse lightly toned at the periphery. As with all the many toned Morgan dollars in this sale, they should be viewed in person or on the internet to get some idea of just how intense the colors are, as each is unique, and each will appeal to a collector differently. A scarce date, and especially so in gem condition with such sporting colors. Estimated Value $350-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,466
