Morgan Silver Dollar
1899 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-65+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This glorious Gem Proof is warmly and evenly toned in iridescent silver-rose. Full y truck with a softly frosted texture, the design elements contrast markedly with deeply reflective fields. The final Proof silver dollar of the 19th century, the 1899 was produced to the extent of 846 pieces. Proofs of this date are doubly desirable as circulation strikes in the finer Mint State grades are somewhat elusive. In keeping with the standards of the type, the typical survivor is a Choice example in Proof-63 or Proof-64 with at least a few wispy hairlines scattered about. Coins that are as expertly preserved and aesthetically pleasing as the present Gem can be difficult to come by in today's market, which fact confirms the fleeting nature of this offering for the quality-conscious collector.
