Description

1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar. AU-53 (NGC).

This uncommonly high grade example of the issue reveals only light rub to the high points that hardly interferes with a sharply executed strike. Friction in the fields is also commensurate with the assigned grade, although much of the flashy mint finish can be seen under a light. Otherwise brilliant silver surfaces are enhanced by a splash of steel-olive patina at the right obverse border. The 1893-S is a legendary Morgan dollar that ranks as the absolute rarity among circulation strikes of this type. While survivors are eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, for discerning collectors only coins in the finest circulated and Mint State grades will do. This NGC-certified About Uncirculated survivor will certainly have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced collection.

PCGS# 7226. NGC ID: 255U.

Estimate: $25000
