Lot 1112 1901-S Morgan Dollar.NGC graded MS-65 Prooflike.Fully white. The fields ripple with original reflective luster. The 1901-S is a very challenging issue, the first of four difficult S-mint dates that conclude with the 1904-S. However, unlike most of the other survivors, which tend to be frosty, this lovely '01-S is not so readily obtainable in prooflike Mint State grades. Bright and highly lustrous, the striking details are sharp overall, if slightly unprotected above the ear, and there are no abrasions that require mention on either side save perhaps for a little contact point at Liberty's eyebrow. Pop 1; the finest PL graded at NGC(PCGS # 7277) . In the 1993 book Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, Q. David Bowers says this about Prooflike 1901-S Morgan Dollars: "With PL finish the 1901-S is very rare and is one of the most difficult Morgans to locate in this state." Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
