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.
