Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1621		1897-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. Okay, okay--find something bad to say about this one! You can't. White and superb. View details	Realized $3,795
Lot 1622		1897-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67. If you like iridescent toning, this gem has it in abundance! Both sides exhibit the full gamut of deep hues favoring the violets. A superb toned gem. View details	Realized $3,105
Lot 1623		1897-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Premium Quality. Gleaming brilliant silvery surfaces with just a hint of pale amber iridescence here and there. And the strike is super, too. View details	Realized $1,380
Lot 1624		1897-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. This is a real premium coin with handsome, original surfaces showing off some gold iridescence on top of delightful silvery gray brilliance. As nice technically as plenty of today's "sixes" hiding in their plastic tombs, poor things. Some day they will all be liberated and collectors will again make their own decisions of what is "nice." Here's to that! View details	Realized $437
Lot 1625		1897-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Blazing white but some action on the high points. View details	Unsold
Lot 1626		1898 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. A couple of small bagmarks right on the lower cheek, but this coin is solidly graded, mostly white with a hint of golden hues. Lovely indeed. View details	Realized $529
Lot 1627		1898 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. In an older slab, and a sure bet for an upgrade. Superb Gem BU. View details	Realized $748
Lot 1628		1898 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Light hairlines, yes, but a gemmy cameo look to the naked eye. Brilliant mirrors surrounded by golden blue toning on the peripheries, more on the obverse. If you just want a "nice" Morgan Proof, this may be it! View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 1629		1898-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. One for the toning freaks! Some tiny fritzies may be located by Liberty's mouth, but these are covered by a visual Calliope of mixed iridescence--multihued blues and golds. The reverse, on the other hand, is nearly all white, just a hint of gold showing. Mostly the surfaces are immaculate. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 1630		1898-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Lightly clashed dies but virtual perfection and gleaming brilliant luster. View details	Realized $1,208
Lot 1631		1898-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Superb Gem BU. All "sixes" should be this nice. View details	Unsold
Lot 1632		1898-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Anybody would eagerly buy this coin as a 66. It's frosted in the face and all other devices, the cartwheel luster is perfect, and the surfaces (especially the back) are exquisite expanses of pure snowy silver. This coin is a Superb Gem BU and a perfect example of what MS66 should always be. View details	Realized $253
Lot 1633		1898-O Morgan Dollar. MS-65. Bright and frosty with some tone just starting to form around the reverse borders. View details	Realized $63

Lot 1637		Exquisite 1899-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-67 Deep Mirror Prooflike. While this is a common date in Mint State, it is seldom seen in Deep Mirror Prooflike; in fact, only 171 have been graded with a slightly smaller number graded "prooflike" by PCGS through all the Mint State grade selections. Here is one of the two highest graded, with none graded higher. Untoned and virtually as struck, this stunning Morgan Dollar will no doubt be the highlight of an advanced collection. View details	Realized $5,463
Lot 1638		1899-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. Some staining (on the back) in the brilliance, but as nice as some of the recently manufactured MS68s--so evidently the "standards" have changed somewhere along the line. You decide. View details	Unsold
Lot 1639		1899-O Morgan Dollar. MS-65. A totally white satiny mint gem. View details	Realized $104
Lot 1640		1899-S Morgan Dollar. MS-63. Bright and frosty, just some light ticks scattered about. View details	Realized $184

Lot 1649		1900-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Blazing white, well struck, and just gorgeous for a Morgan dollar. Looks like an 80-S, it's so superb! View details	Realized $978
Lot 1650		1900-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65 Prooflike. Check out the mark on the head behind the eye, otherwise just some tiny marks. View details	Unsold

Lot 1652		1901 Morgan Dollar. AU-50. A decent coin for the grade. View details	Realized $242
Lot 1653		1901-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Frosty and a jewel with some pale orangy gold iridescence here and there. View details	Realized $794
Lot 1654		1901-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Some light golden blue iridescence on top of delicious surfaces. View details	Unsold
Lot 1655		1901-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-66. Oh, please. Mostly brilliant but this is an insult to those really nice 65s and 66s. View details	Realized $604
Lot 1656		1901-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A frosty white jewel destined for a new case. View details	Realized $3,220
Lot 1657		1902 Morgan Dollar. ICG graded MS-67. Gleaming silvery surfaces, nearly perfect, and a wonderful cheek. Superb Gem BU! View details	Realized $1,783
Lot 1658		1902 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. An unfortunate "hit" right in the center of poor old Miss Liberty's big fat cheek. Not to mention some other chatters by her eye. But it's a Choice BU with nice white surfaces otherwise. View details	Unsold
Lot 1659		1902-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. The color's a touch subdued but the surfaces are nearly superb. View details	Realized $368
Lot 1660		1902-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Satiny mint surfaces with striations (probably mint caused) bisecting the obverse surfaces. View details	Realized $132
Lot 1661		1903 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. A wonderful Morgan dollar, brilliant and nearly flawless with a hint of rose toning. Morgan enthusiasts should check out all of these lots carefully, including the uncertified ones (largely from one consignor who never had anything he owned slabbed), because there are some really fine coins here in this sale. View details	Unsold
Lot 1662		1903 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Childs. A Brilliant Proof example of this much-better Proof year Morgan dollar. The obverse is gleaming even on the face, while the reverse combines reflective mirror fields with a satiny (not frosted) eagle and minor devices. Reverse mirrors are deep "black silver" in nature. Untoned on that side except for some speckles of grayish gold. The obverse has the color, sort of splotchy mauve upon otherwise pure-silver surfaces. This is a lovely coin, and decidedly high end if not actually deserving of a PR66 slab. Whatever permutations those numbers may go through, this coin, in our judgment, is Superb. From the celebrated Walter H. Childs Collection, Bowers and Merena, August 30, 1999, lot 519. View details	Unsold
Lot 1663		1903 Morgan Dollar. MS-65. Gem BU. Full brilliance and nearly flawless surfaces. View details	Realized $75
Lot 1664		Fabulous 1903-O DMPL Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. A splendid Morgan Dollar that has everything going for it and nothing to detract. The surfaces approach perfection, even a strong glass scarcely finds signs of contact. Liberty's bold cheek is full and undiminished by contact. There are some trivial toning specks scattered across Liberty, which note the passage of time since this coin was struck. Fully struck with deeply mirrored dies, creating vast contrast between device and field, highly desirable as a result. This is one of just 3 so graded by PCGS, with none graded higher! View details	Realized $6,900
Lot 1665		1903-O Morgan Dollar. MS-64. We're calling this delightful coin a 64 only because of some stray and faint hairlines on Liberty's cheek, and only because the grading experts make such a big deal of these (which, frankly, seems a bit exaggerated). But this coin has an intensity of brilliance that marks it as special, as well as a bold strike and delightful golden iridescence forming on the left border. If you're a pure collector, you will love this coin. If you want to invest in it, well, give it time to acquire a slight haze and you will end up with a Gem coin, no doubt of it.

Lot 1666		1903-O Morgan Dollar. MS-63. Totally brilliant. View details	Realized $207
Lot 1667		1903-O Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Frosty with a touch of toning starting to form. View details	Realized $196
Lot 1668		1903-S Morgan Dollar. EF-40. Some traces of mint luster still adherent. Includes the PCGS tag. View details	Realized $368
Lot 1669		1904 Morgan Dollar. MS-62. Fully lustrous. View details	Realized $109
Lot 1670		1904-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-67. This coin has special brilliance, somewhat glassy surfaces on the obverse (semi-prooflike, some might say), a truly full strike, and a ring of lovely light golden blue iridescence on each rim. Even the most jaded dollar collector will find his eyes opened by this jewel. We've seen some 68s (80-S coins, of course) with less eye appeal. View details	Realized $1,898
