Description
Exquisite 1891-O Morgan Silver Dollar
1891-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS).
Seldom do we have the opportunity to present even a single 1891-O Morgan dollar that grades finer than MS-64+ in one of our sales. To be offering no less than four (!) examples certified MS-65 or MS-65+ by PCGS in the present auction is a very rare event that is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon, if ever. Interestingly, all three of the MS-65+ specimens display identical toning patterns. The reverses are brilliant apart from thin crescents of iridescent color at left or right. On the present example, it is the right reverse border that shows some delicate reddish-orange color. The obverses, however, are fully and richly toned, here in a bold blend of steel-blue, mauve, lemon yellow and orange-gold. This piece also readily reveals the superior striking quality and strong luster characteristics required to compel those special few 1891-O dollars to this grade level. It is a beautiful premium Gem that is worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 7208. NGC ID: 255J.
PCGS Population: 39; 3 finer in this category (all MS-66).
