Description
1891-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS).
An exceptionally well produced example of this formidable condition rarity among New Orleans Mint Morgan dollars. Both sides exhibit predominantly sharp striking detail, the central high points with emerging to bold definition. Mint luster is full with a dominant frosty texture and subtle semi-reflective tendencies in the obverse field. Expertly preserved, as well, the surfaces are smooth and brilliant apart from the lightest silvery tinting on the reverse. Although plentiful in an absolute sense, Mint State survivors of this 7,954,529-piece issue are scarce to rare in grades above MS-64, primarily due to deficiencies with the strike. As one of the finest examples known to PCGS, the coin offered here represents a particularly significant find for the discerning Morgan dollar collector.
PCGS# 7208. NGC ID: 255J.
PCGS Population: 33; 2 finer in this category (both MS-66).
Estimate: $10800
