Lot 1391		1885-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Housed in an Old Green Holder. A pure as satin silvery tint fascinates the eye from this lustrous piece, a coin whose mint glow goes round and round. Things being what they are, it is not easy to find such luster. So too crisp definition on the main devices counts for a lot. Mathematically exact standards are seen in the sharp hair and eagle details. San Francisco Mint quality at its level best! Pop 427; 36 finer, 5 in 65+, 29 in 66, 2 in 67 (PCGS # 7164) .

Lot 1395		1886-O. PCGS graded MS-64. Frosty and totally white. A date that is rather located without much trouble in worn and marginal Uncirculated grades, the 1886-O is among the most desirable condition rarities in the Morgan Dollar series above the MS62 level of preservation. Original and aesthetically pleasing, the surfaces are powerfully lustrous with spinning cartwheel frost. The strike is especially sharp for an O-mint issue, and only one or two haircurls over Liberty's ear are less than 100% defined. The number of distracting abrasions is minimal at this grade level, we note a faint hairline on the cheek. The surfaces fresh, attractive, beaming with bright silvery iridescence. A thin die crack is noted above S-OF on the reverse. Both major grading services have seen only limited numbers at or above the MS64 grade level. Pop 203; 3 in 64+, 2 in 65, 1 in 65+ (PCGS # 7168) .

Lot 1398		1886-S. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ CAC Approved. The obverse displays lovely gold and blue toning. A gorgeous coin. As a Morgan Dollar with a limited original mintage of 750,000 pieces, the 1886-S is clearly a popular coin. What's more, this date is a test of patience to locate in the finer Mint States grades, particularly those above the MS65 level. The present coin with its impressive toning has surfaces underneath that are uncommonly abrasion-free for the issue. Full cartwheel luster, in fact. The strike is bold, and the detail just as imposing as the wonderful colors. Pop 29; 4 finer in 67 (PCGS # 7170) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,763
Lot 1399		1888 Top-100 VAM-11 DDO Doubled Ear. NGC graded MS-65. Unlike the Philadelphia Mint dates in the early to mid-1880s (all the way to 1887), a scarce one pops up this year, 1888, with few survivors in the Gem grade, as seen in the following statistics: Pop 26; 1 finer in 66 (PCGS # 7182) . Estimated Value $700 - 800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1400		1888-O. PCGS graded MS-66+. Well struck and mostly untoned. Semi-reflective fields. By far, and extremely rare coin in this condition. The usual 1888-O tends to come bagmarked. This coin by comparision, is in the top PCGS category: Pop 5; none finer at PCGS in Mint State (PCGS # 7184) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,830
Lot 1401		1888-S. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and white. Only 657,000 minted (PCGS # 7186) . Estimated Value $675 - 725. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $794
Lot 1402		1889-CC NGC graded Unc Details. Stained. A popular key date. Silver Dollar coinage reemerged in 1889 at the Carson City office after a three-year absence. Political considerations in Washington caused the Treasury Department to close the Mint while the Cleveland administration was in a tight-budget mode. Upon reopening (after Cleveland was voted out of office in 1888), there was only time to strike 350,000 silver dollars before the new calendar year began. Hence, this date's infrequent appearance at auction, especially in higher grade. (The Carson mint would remain open only until 1893, when it was permanently shut down -- under the second Cleveland administration.) The 1889-CC Morgan Dollar is one of the lowest mintage issues of the entire series. All were struck during the final three months of the year with monthly production of 100,000 coins each in October and November, and 150,000 coins in December. The '89-CC is always included among the key five dates in the series in Mint State condition, and it is the undisputed key among Carson City Morgan silver dollars. This important lightly tarnished representative is still Uncirculated, and has the characteristic satin smoothness in the fields. The strike is full on the obverse while the breast feathers of the eagle are also ideally sharp. The obverse has a few barely noticeable ticks on the face but nothing noteworthy (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $11,213
Lot 1403		1889-CC NGC graded Unc Details. Improperly cleaned. Prooflike fields on both sides. A nice bold strike. Our grade is MS62PL. Within the reach of serious Morgan dollar collectors, this is the rarest Carson City Mint issue. The 1889-CC was produced to the extent of just 350,000 pieces. When the mint (which had closed in 1885) did not reopen until mid-year 1889, there was only six months of production possible. Odd as it may seem, approximately half of the Mint States in collectors' hands are either prooflikes or deep mirror in finish. A very attractive coin, the devices are boldly contrasting between the frost on the relief surrounded by reflective fields. Silvery brilliance throughout; and one that presents itself as strikingly brilliant. The scattered hairlines are minor enough that happily, there isn't one we can single out as anything by mildly noteworthy (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,638
Lot 1404		1889-CC. ICG graded EF-45. Our grade is EF-40, lightly toned. A popular Key Date and a solid coin for the grade of EF. Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,070
Lot 1405		1889-CC. NGC XF Details, improperly cleaned. A decent coin not badly cleaned (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1406		1889-CC. PCI graded VF-35. Lightly toned. Our grade is VF-20. Estimated Value $850 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 1407		1889-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck and choice for the grade.We could leave it there, but feel this coin deserves further discussion for it is an incredibly lustrous gem '65 whose resolute cartwheels dance before your eyes. Further, both sides play host to deep bold strikes on the key devices. A lovely coin, one that certainly meets the qualifications for the assigned grade. Pop 546; 72 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 7194) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,350. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,553
