Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 3106		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCI graded MS-63. A frosty white coin featuring better than average detail in the centers, with outstanding hair waves and vegetable matter underneath Liberty's cap. The eagle is resplendent, showing full plumage. A scarce CC-mint issue (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $891
Lot 3107		1892-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice obverse gold toning near the edges while the reverse displays lovely blue and gold colors. Liberty's profile especially free of bagmarks (PCGS # 7216) . Estimated Value $500 - 525. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $748
Lot 3108		1892-S Morgan Dollar. Sharpness of MS-63 Prooflike. Light golden toning on both sides. Small pin scratch across Liberty's neck, which must be weighed in the bidding because this is such an important issue, but more than compensated by the choice surfaces elsewhere. Well struck and nice, flashes of mirror surface throughout. Some light hairlines visable. The 1892-S is one of the dates in the Morgan dollar series that separates the men from the boys, making bidding on one an sobering experience. Despite a fair number made (original mintage of 1.2 million pieces), this year is missing in Uncirculated condition in most of America's silver dollar collections. And there does not appear to have been a time when Mint States weren't rare. No 1892-S dollars surfaced in the 1960s when the Treasury Department released millions of silver dollars at face value. It may be that most were destroyed at the end of World War I under the terms of the Pittman Act. This attractive Mint State awaits your bid. With considerable fervor, bidding should take it right on up to a strong price realized, with the end bidder congratulating himself n his astuteness. Estimated Value $25,000 - 28,000.

Lot 3109		1893 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice white coin. One small mark near Liberty's eye otherwise a MS-65 to 66. A choice frosty coin (PCGS # 7220) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3110		1893 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded AU-58. Mostly untoned. There are some marks on the cheek. Scarce date (PCGS # 7220) . Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $357
Lot 3111		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Lightly toned; displaying golden colors and a hint of turquoise about the obverse borders. Choice satin finish sparkling beneath the variegated toning makes a fitting addition to the colorful aspects. Difficult to find CC-mint date. The strike is crisp in most outer areas, though some lack of detail may be noted at the central design. Only 677,000 minted (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $4,700 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,485
Lot 3112		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. PCI graded MS-62. A nice white coin. Occasional marks in the left obverse field and on the cheek, but all in all a frosty specimen of this last year issue. Mintage was 677,000 pieces (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 3113		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-61. Semi-reflective surfaces. Untoned. Some minor hairlines, barely visable. The later CC-mint Morgans do on occasion come with reflective quality in the fields; others are more typically frosted. As the last year of issue, '93-CC carries a desirable cache among collectors (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,990
Lot 3114		1893-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded AU-53. Nicely toned on both sides. Important key date Morgan Dollar. A worthwhile rarity by any standard, the luster is still intact in a few protected regions around the letters and devices, while smooth antique gray and other toning hues blossom on both sides. This coin has the look that collectors like. It has the absence of marks that pays dividends when the time to sell arrives. Furthermore, the strike, like the surface originality, is confident, full, indeed, as bold as ever seen on virtually any 1893-S offered. Only 100,000 were minted. Most became extensively worn in circulation. The few high grade pieces get quickly snapped up. Pop 41; 61 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7224) . Estimated Value $20,000 - 23,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3115		1893-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45. Key date to this series. Mostly untoned. Well detailed for this more difficult S-mint date, a low mintage year from the most important branch mint, with soft gray colored highlights that add considerably to the appeal (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,638
Lot 3116		1893-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded EF-45. Key date dollar. Evenly toned on both sides, and definitely uncleaned, a coin tops in its class, tops in appearance. The few wispy abrasions on the cheek and elsewhere do not detract from the overall pleasing eye appeal of sharp Extremely Fine (PCGS # 7224) . Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,200
Lot 3117		1893-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45. Popular key date Morgan Dollar. Well struck and lightly toned. A worldly measure of natural silver gray color with here and there a trace of luster to liven up the wide expanse of smooth surface. The fields are for much nicer than average; we cannot say immaculate for a coin that circulated, but as the photographs depict, this coin has an edge over others in its grade; and the strike is intrepid enough to call for special mention. Pop 395. (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,638

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,578
Lot 3121		1893-S Morgan Dollar. VF-20. Lightly cleaned years ago. The surface is free of heavy marks, while the rims are choice, unblemished, and give the central design a nice border. A popular key date (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,565
Lot 3122		1893-S Morgan Dollar. Sharpness of VF-30. Light scratches on Liberty's face which leave the surrounding fields unscathed. Sharp strike. A popular key date.

Lot 3124		1893-S Morgan Dollar. ANACS graded Good-6. Popular key date.

Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,760
Lot 3125		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 PQ. Old green holder. Wonderful rainbow toning on both sides. Should be cracked out and regraded. There is so much to say about the beautiful surfaces of this coin since they are nearly gem quality, a level that is almost unobtainable. The mint frost of the devices is glowing with intensity over each side. Surrounding, the gleam of fresh mirrors. There is a lot more than a wee bit of patina as well, the colors resonate with a gleam all their own. And what's more, confirming the smooth luster, we report excellent sharpness on all devices. Concentrate on these features, and then submit your bids. 972 Proofs struck. Pop 75; 38 finer; 25 in 65; 9 in 66; 3 in 67; 1 in 68. (PCGS # 7329) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,050
Lot 3126		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Frosty with a hint of light toning. A popular low mintage date. Far and away the second lowest mintage among P-mint Morgan Dollars, and the third lowest (after the 1893-S) among all Morgan strikes including Proofs in this series. One of just 110,000 pieces reported struck, this coin is sure to work its way into a Choice Uncirculated date set. The strike is much sharper than average, one might easily say bold, with pretty strong definition over the highest, most hair waves and breast feathers of the design. As often occurs, there are a few small bagmarks on Liberty's cheek, but the virtual absence of sizeable marks and the free-flowing frosty luster give this particular specimen the eye appeal associated with the grade (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,830
Lot 3127		1894 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-62. Toned on both sides. A high degree of soft luster distinguishes the satiny silver gray surfaces from others of the date struck at the branch mints where different style luster causes them to appear differently though in technically similar grade. Collectors familiar with the Philadelphia Mint 1894 dollars in the Morgan series will recognize this difference at once. Only 110,000 minted (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,335
Lot 3128		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCI graded MS-61. We agree with the grade. Mostly untoned and well struck, the luster everpresent in the fields and atop the devices. A few light contacts on the face. Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300
Lot 3129		1894 Morgan Dollar. MS-60 Plus. Lightly toned with light hairlines. Scarce P-mint issue with a low mintage. This one is very sharply struck by the dies. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,640

Estimated Value $3,300 - 3,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,875
Lot 3131		1894. NGC graded each AU-58. Each exhibits a few light surface abrasions from the few months it circulated, yet is lustrous with a nice full strike. Popular low mintage date that is always in great demand. Lot of 4 coins (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,625
Lot 3132		1894 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded AU-58. Popular low mintage date, this time the frosty is heavy, white, and extensive across the coin.

Lot 3133		1894 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded AU-55. Mostly untoned and well struck, this piece, too was selected for its free-ranging and generous luster (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3134		1894. NGC graded each AU-53. A trio of the popular low mintage 1894 P-mint dollars from an old-time consignment.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3135		1894. NGC graded each EF-45. Each example is well struck and a coin that has above-average surfaces nearly devoid of abrasions. Scarce low mintage date this is lacking from most collections. Lot of 3 coins (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,910
Lot 3136		1894-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-60. Small mark near the lips. Mostly untoned and frosty. A scarce semi-key date (PCGS # 7230) . Estimated Value $600 - 625. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $449
Lot 3137		1895 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Beautiful lilac and blue toning on both sides. It has been commented on by numismatists that Mint records indicate 12,000 business strike Morgan Dollars were delivered in 1895. However, not a single specimen has surfaced. Either all were stored at the Mint and subsequently melted, or the coins delivered were not dated 1895. Regardless of which turns out to be true, the deficiency of business strike 1895 Morgan dollars has put the Proofs of this year in the limelight, as it were. A rarity and one whose desirability in today's hobby is famous. Without a doubt, a Gem Proof 1895 like the coin presently being offered, is the lynch-pin to collecting this long-lived and widely regarded series of large silver coins. We are pleased to offer a sparkling quality coin whose surface shines with reflectivity as the light plays across it. Interesting natural toning hues are seen at all angles with some deeper glints of blue tones on both sides. Boldly struck with no aberrant marks or hairlines. Only 880 proofs. Pop 31; 37 finer; 23 in 66; 2 in 67; 2 in 68. (PCGS # 7330) . Estimated Value $45,000 - 50,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $57,500
Lot 3138		1895 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Beautiful blue and lilac toning on both sides. 880 Proofs struck. Regardless of the fate of the missing 1895 business strike dollars, there is no question the numerous Morgan dollar connoisseurs dream about owning a rare Proof specimen. The original delivery was 880 pieces as part of the Proof sets that year. Bowers, in his two-ton encyclopedia of Silver Dollars posits that as few as 700 are left today. With a crisp strike and a rich colorful patina, this near-gem Proof 64 is clearly ahead of most other survivors. The nicely reflective fields display a few hairlines that, preclude a full Proof 65 grade. All the same, words can barely convey the effect that this lovely coin will have on Morgan enthusiasts and eager bidders when it goes on the auction block. Pop 55; 37 finer; 14 in 65; 17 in 66; 5 in 67; 1 in 68. (PCGS # 7330) . Estimated Value $40,000 - 42,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $49,450

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
