Morgan Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1046		1892-S. NGC graded EF-45. Light gold toning. A scarce date in high grade. Since most of this issue circulated well, coins become scarcer as they advance up the grading scale. EF45 is in the sweet spot for quality vs. monetary outlay. Above this level, 1892-S becomes steadily more expensive (PCGS # 7218) . Estimated Value $400 - 440. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $517
Lot 1047		1893. PCGS graded MS-65. PQ. A nice white coin. A sparkling coin bursting with luster, untoned and white in appearance. The surfaces are clear of marks and solidly in the Gem class. As we see it, when it comes to the centers of Liberty and the eagle, the strike is above-average, sharp, and well defined in all areas. Truly a pleasing coin, and a Mint State Morgan that would form a conversational center for most coin collections since it has so much history behind it. Pop 205; 10 finer, 5 in 65+, 5 in 66. (PCGS # 7220) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1048		1893-CC NGC graded Unc Details. Improperly cleaned. Softly struck in the center of both sides. Nice semi-reflective fields. After the Southern gold mints were shuttered for the duration of the American Civil War which broke out in 1861, another Mint began operations in 1870, this one in a dusty town in the Nevada desert, Carson City. Like Charlotte and Dahlonega before it, Carson had a tumultuous history, with production in fits and starts. It did not take anything like the Civil War to shut down the Carson City Mint, however; instead, an administrative decision by President Grover Cleveland demoted Carson City to an Assay Office in 1893, 23 years after production started. In its final year of existence as a mint, Carson City struck both gold coins and Silver Dollars (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

Lot 1049		1893-CC. PCGS graded XF Details, Cleaning. Nice obverse grey toning. The reverse is mostly untoned. Somewhat flatly struck in centers (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1050		1893-CC. PCGS graded VF Details, Damage. Some obverse marks (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $190 - 200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $259
Lot 1051		1893-S PCGS graded Genuine XF Details. Cleaning. A popular key date. Even gray toning. Only 100,000 made and showing appreciable detail in Liberty's hair and the eagle plumage (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,878
Lot 1052		1894. PCGS graded XF Details, Cleaning. Even grey toning. Low mintage date: 110,000 (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 1055		1895-O. PCGS graded EF-40. Light gray toning. And another releative scarce date from the mid-1890s, this time from the New Orleans Mint where only 450,000 were coined (PCGS # 7236) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1056		1895-S. PCGS graded EF-45. A hint of light tone (PCGS # 7238) . Estimated Value $1,050 - 1,150. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,058
Lot 1057		1895-S. PCGS graded EF-40. Gray toning on both sides. Choice surfaces with medium to lighter shades, the wear minimal on the high points. This is a low mintage date: 400,000 pieces (PCGS # 7238) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $969
Lot 1058		1895-S. PCGS graded XF Details, Cleaning. Light irregular toning on both sides. Some obverse marks (PCGS # 7238) . Estimated Value $700 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1059		1896. PCGS graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck and totally white. DMPL coins are regular Morgan Dollars that were struck for circulation but have unusually frosted legends and devices and very reflective, mirror-like, fields on both the obverse and reverse. There are coins that are heavy DMPL like the present 1896 example, meaning that they are very frosted/mirrored, and coins that are light DMPL, meaning they are not as thoroughly frosted/mirrored. These coins occur most frequently during the pre-1883 run of San Francisco dollars. Dates from the 1890s are much scarcer in DMPL. It is thought that only the first few dozen to hundred coins struck from brand new dies display any sort of Prooflike tendency. The DMPL ones are most sought after. Pop 19; 1 finer in 67. (PCGS # 97241) . Estimated Value $5,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,640
Lot 1060		1900. NGC graded MS-67. A frosty white gem. Full glowing mint luster, the color of ice. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a full, sharp blow by the dies. Superb in all ways. Collectors really fancy their Morgan Dollars in this state of preservation, in fact, more than a little. It is perhaps rather a sudden surprise when one first encounters an MS67; and till you get used to it, it takes awhile before you realize how unrestrainedly admired these are. Cream of the crop, as it were. For the specialist who will settle for nothing less than the finest looking coins, we recommend placing a bid. Pop 43; none finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7264) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,169
Lot 1061		1901. PCGS graded MS-63. Lightly toned. A key date Morgan in Mint State. The 1901-P is one of the Top Five elusive dates in the Morgan series and is one of the foremost condition rarities in all of U.S. silver coinage. A very small number have been graded by PCGS. This piece shows the subdued satin-like surfaces this issue is known for and each side has a light overlay of russet and gold patina. There are no objectionable abrasions on either side of this impressive 1901-P Dollar, only some very modest signs of contact with others in the bag. Pop 117; 36 finer (PCGS # 7272) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1062		1901. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Mostly white and well struck. Only 813 struck. A highly lustrous Proof of this scarce P-mint release (since the business strikes are pretty much unavailable in choice to gem grades, collectors often prefer a nice Proof like this). The surface is silvery on both sides, all of which is underpinned by full bold designs. Struck from typically-sharp dies that imported their keen-edge detail, especially at the eagle's plumage and Liberty's cap and hair curls. Pop 9; 24 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 87336) . Estimated Value $3,700 - 3,800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,348
Lot 1063		1901. PCGS graded AU-53. A nice untoned coin with luster around both sides. Scarce in upper grades. Most circulated to the point where a typical 1901 P-mint is only Fine or Very Fine (PCGS # 7272) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1064		1901-O. NGC graded MS-67. Well struck and untoned. A common enough coin up to and including MS65 quality, but then the population figures fall off a cliff like Wile E. Coyote. An appealing fresh silvery white specimen, fully struck, and superb, the field unmarred by discoloration or contact marks. Quite difficult to encounter in this nice a grade as we mentioned, while showing full mint bloom. At the same time that the luster blossoms, substantial detail reveals itself on the high points of this exceptional example. Pop 15; none finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7274) . Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1065		1902. PCGS graded MS-65. A brilliant white gem specimen (PCGS # 7278) . Estimated Value $400 - 450. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $529
Lot 1066		1902. PCGS graded MS-64+ PQ Gold Sticker. CAC Approved. Lovely blue and golden toning. Should grade MS-65 or better (PCGS # 7278) . Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $517
Lot 1067		1904-O. NGC graded MS-66. CAC Approved. PQ. A nice blazing white gem. Final year of the main series of Morgan Silver Dollars, 1878 to 1904. However, an emergency issue using a modified version of George T. Morgan's design was struck in 1921, while the Philadelphia Mint readied the new Peace Dollar dies (PCGS # 7292) .
