Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1571		1888-S Morgan Dollar. MS-62. Some russet toning is forming in the protected areas of the borders. View details	Realized $196
Lot 1572		Breathtaking 1889 Morgan Dollar - The Finest Graded. PCGS graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Jack Lee. This is the Finest graded Deep Mirror Prooflike 1889 Morgan Dollar. It is the only coin in this grade category according to PCGS in their Population Report. The surfaces are pristine, without the ever-present signs of contact or hairlines marring the fields. Somehow, this superb coin survived undiminished until it was discovered. Certainly this coin stands on its own merits, and is further enhanced by the Jack Lee pedigree (which is noted on the PCGS holder insert). Deep mirror fields seem to drop off the edge of the earth, while the frosty devices appear mile high and separated from the balance of the coin. If you have been searching for a Morgan Dollar which nudges perfection in every way, then purchase this coin. View details	Realized $8,625
Lot 1573		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45. The experts down by the beach nailed this one. Bold mintmark. No problems, just marks appropriate to the grade, none severe. If this classic Morgan rarity fits your budget, go for it! View details	Realized $1,495
Lot 1574		1889-O Morgan Dollar. MS-64. Well struck with a mixture of semi-reflective and frosty mint luster. From the 1984 National Silver Dollar Sale, Nov. 8-11, 1984, Lot 308. View details	Realized $345
Lot 1575		1889-O Morgan Dollar. MS-63. As usual, soft on the breast feathers, satiny smooth mostly untoned surfaces. View details	Realized $127
Lot 1576		1889-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A dramatic look because of the light lilac iridescence on the front, with a bright reverse. Seems to be somewhat prooflike. Lots of marks, though, on the obverse, pretty well hidden in the color. View details	Realized $242
Lot 1577		1889-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. A long clunk on the cheek but pleasing luster and a hint of gold iridescent toning. View details	Realized $150

Lot 1580		1890 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 DMPL. So clean for one of these beauties that it almost seems undergraded. Brilliant, deep mirrors offset by a hint of bright gold on the peripheries. Really nice. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 1581		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Gem BU with some pretty golden blue peripheral toning. View details	Unsold
Lot 1582		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-62. Satiny mint surfaces which are just starting to tone about the periphery. View details	Realized $242
Lot 1583		1890-O DMPL Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 DMPL. When we catalogued it we were struck by the awesome mirrors of the raw DMPL '81-O dollar in this sale, but this coin is certified and its mirrors are nearly as deep. Its surfaces are especially clean and the cameo portrait as well as the frosted eagle are both excellent. These Deep Mirror Proof Like dollars have a special appeal all their own, and here's a great example of why they do. View details	Realized $1,323
Lot 1584		1890-O Morgan Dollar. MS-63. A lovely frosty white specimen. Includes the PCGS tag. View details	Realized $69

Lot 1586		1891 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. A pleasing, more or less mark-free dollar which seems to have been dipped a few times, for it's not as bright as it might be. But nobody will dislike it. View details	Realized $391
Lot 1587		1891 Morgan Dollar. MS-63. Untoned and frosty. View details	Realized $63
Lot 1588		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. MS-62. An untoned frosty mint specimen. Includes the PCGS tag. View details	Realized $219
Lot 1589		1891-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Lots of little abrasions, even on her face, and some weakness of strike on the eagle's breast, but the frosty luster overcomes these minor faults. View details	Realized $155
Lot 1590		1891-O Morgan Dollar. MS-62. A frosty mint example with a light tone just starting to form. View details	Realized $81
Lot 1591		1891-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. A frosty white jewel except for chatter-chatter down the cheek, which is unfortunate but a reality of life in the dollar bags. Still, we like this coin. View details	Realized $173
Lot 1592		1892 Morgan Dollar. MS-62. Nice and frosty with some russet tone forming in the protected areas about the borders. View details	Realized $219

Lot 1596		1892-O Morgan Dollar. MS-62. Typical soft strike and lightly toned. The surfaces are remarkably free from noticeable bag marks. View details	Realized $92
Lot 1597		1892-S Morgan Dollar. EF-45. Light hairlines due to an old cleaning. View details	Realized $460

Lot 1600		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. AU-55. Well struck with plenty of mint luster still intact. We note some light hairlines probably from cleaning. View details	Realized $1,035
Lot 1601		1893-O Morgan Dollar. EF-40. A pleasing coin for the grade. We note a stain on the reverse rim at 2 o'clock that is probably removable by dipping. View details	Realized $265

Lot 1603		1893-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53. Some prooflike quality remains on both sides. The reverse is mega-clean for a circ dollar. The obverse shows a bit more action, including a few partial chattermarks on the cheek, but overall the coin's real appealing for the grade. Silvery color with amber and a hint of blue on the peripheries. If you want an affordable example of this rarity that you will always be proud of owning, this may well fit the bill. View details	Realized $14,088
Lot 1604		1894 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Frosty white and really pleasing for a 64. A little action on Liberty's face but this is a delight for an 1894 dollar. View details	Unsold
Lot 1605		1894 Morgan Dollar. EF-45. Well struck and brilliant due to cleaning. View details	Realized $380
Lot 1606		1894-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A really nice, white coin, perfectly graded in our opinion. Some hazy waterspots on the lower obverse. View details	Unsold
Lot 1607		1894-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Two dark flan flaws on the back but frosty and bright. Scarce. View details	Realized $472
Lot 1608		1894-S Morgan Dollar. AU-55. Well struck with the fields exhibiting proof-like surfaces and the raised portions mint frost. Probably has never seen actual circulation and may possibly be improved if properly dipped. View details	Realized $265
Lot 1609		The "King" in Choice Proof. PCGS graded Proof 63. Lovely cameoed cheek and frosted eagle on this, the much-coveted "king" of Morgans. Proof-only issue, of course--880 struck. The mythological 12,000 reported business strikes have never surfaced and probably represent nothing but an error in the Philadelphia Mint's coinage log for the year, or more likely melted under the Pittman Act of 1918. The fields on this handsome specimen are an elegant bluish gray, or lilac gold, or some other iridescent but subtle variant, depending upon how you hold the coin against the light. Beneath this color the mirrors are deep as a well, adding immeasurably to its eye appeal. If you make the winning bid, you won't regret it or ever tire of looking at this specimen. View details	Realized $20,988
Lot 1610		1895-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. One of the decidedly rare O-mints and it really doesn't have that many marks, just some small action on the face, but no wear. View details	Realized $9,200
Lot 1611		1895-O Morgan Dollar. EF-45. Cleaned at one time, still plenty of mint luster to suggest a higher grade. View details	Realized $529
Lot 1612		1895-S Morgan Dollar. AU-58. Loaded with mint frost and just starting to tone. We note some bag marks on the jaw and discounted the grade. View details	Realized $978

Lot 1614		1896 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Frosty white obverse with a hint of gold, but the back is a visual feast--magenta and blue and green and light gold. View details	Realized $483
Lot 1615		1896 Morgan Dollar. MS-65. Superb surfaces and lovely silvery rose color. Liberty's face is a delight. A rim nick at 11 o'clock reverse keeps it from an even higher grade. View details	Unsold
Lot 1616		1896-O Morgan Dollar. AU-55. Somewhat softly struck, nevertheless, plenty of mint luster to justify the grade. View details	Realized $173
Lot 1617		1896-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Brilliant with a few chattermarks, including a couple of smallish ones on the face of Liberty. The hair below the ear is "flat," as one expects from the dies this year. Rolling lines traverse the same spot. Tough date. View details	Realized $1,840
Lot 1618		1896-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Brilliant Uncirculated with numerous light ticks about the obverse surfaces. Popular semi-key date. View details	Realized $575
