Description

1886 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC.

A highly lustrous, satin to softly frosted example with swirling cartwheel visual effects dominating the in hand appearance. Both sides are sharply struck and predominantly brilliant, although there are enhancing blushes of pretty reddish-gold and cobalt blue iridescence along the right obverse and, especially, reverse borders. At 19,963,000 circulation strikes produced, the 1886 boasts the highest mintage for a silver dollar of any design type produced up to that point in time. Thanks to the release of large numbers of examples from government storage throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, the 1886 is one of the most common Morgan dollars in Mint State. As with so many issues in this series, however, MS-67 is the grade level at which the word "scarce" becomes applicable for the 1886. This is a thoroughly PQ example for the assigned grade that is sure to sell for a strong premium.

PCGS# 7166. NGC ID: 254V.

Estimate: $ 2250
