1903-S $1 VAM 2 Micro S TOP 100 MS (PCGS#133967)

The June 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1903-S Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-2. Top 100 Variety. Small S. AU-55 (NGC). This is one of the more difficult Top 100 varieties to find, and most seen are in far lower grades than this splendid example. The coin is fully brilliant with satin white luster in the protected areas, a solid strike and only gentle circulation as shown by the expected friction on the high points and open fields. It is believed that the S mintmark used for this reverse die was the same size as that used for quarter dollar dies that year. Condition Census quality and an important offering for the specialist. Of course, <em>any</em> 1903-S Morgan dollar in this lofty grade is quite a challenge to find, with most of those known today in the Very Fine or so grade range; few exist that qualify as Mint State today. This silver-white AU-55 example is a formidable coin to represent either the date or the ever popular VAM variety.
