Description
1903-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS).
A fully brilliant and satiny Gem example of the date with a strong strike and exceptional eye appeal. The cartwheel luster is nothing short of spectacular. Exceptional for the grade. A century ago this coin would have been counted as one of the most fantastic Morgan dollars in existence. For decades the 1903-O was known only in circulated grades with but few exceptions. A VF-20 coin 60 years ago was considered a remarkable example of the date. Then, in the early 1960s, the Treasury hoard revealed a few bags of Mint State 1903-O Morgans and the rush was on. Those poor collectors who found themselves with circulated examples of the date worth up to $1,500 in the Red Book now owned a relatively "common" coin in only average condition. Such are the changing fortunes in numismatics.
PCGS# 7286. NGC ID: 256S.
