Description
1901-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).
A satiny Superb Gem of the finest order. Briskly moving cartwheel luster enhances the satiny surfaces of this undeniably beautiful example. Sharply struck. Regarding this date, Q. David Bowers once wrote, "quality varies all over the place, and if you were to be blindfolded and pick one from a pile, chances are it would be a poor strike and with many bagmarks, although the lustre might be decent, sort of satiny." The present coin is anything but typical, and so far removed from the Bowers comments as to be simply outstanding. Indeed, precious few examples of the issue have been certified finer than the present specimen by NGC. Worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 7274. NGC ID: 256K.
NGC Census: 36; 4 finer in this category (all MS-67+).
