Lot 3181
1895-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-61 Prooflike. Well struck. Lightly toned with lots of flash. Pop 1; 1 better in 63 PL. Nearly unobtainable in strictly Uncirculated condition, the 1895-O is one of the few dates in the Morgan dollar series that approximates the rarity in Mint State of the celebrated 1892-S and 1893-S. All the basic conditions for an good-looking, high grade dollar seem to have united against the 1895-O. This well struck specimen in MS61 shows ample luster, a few surface abrasions, and a better than average strike. It is a brilliant coin, mainly untoned, and has a satiny, metallic sheen over both sides. The best part about it is the fact the devices are so well struck, with only the faintest weakness evident over the ear of Liberty, while the eagle's breast feathers are nicely defined. A definite pick for the loyal collector of Morgan silver dollars who isn't afraid to shy away from an expensive rarity (PCGS # 7237) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 24,000.
