详细说明

Ex Magnificent Morgans, as noted on the insert. The 1901 has the distinction of being the RAREST Philadelphia mint Morgan dollar in Mint State, despite a mintage that approaches seven million coins. This condition rarity is a real prize in ANY Mint State grade, the closer to GEM you get on the grading scale the rarer this coin gets. Fewer than three dozen have been graded MS64, and just three are finer at PCGS--and that is after 36 years of grading operations. Even after many different old time hoards of Mint State Morgan dollar bags appearing-- no large quantity of 1901 dollars have ever come out of an old time holding! The present offering is intensely lustrous, with a bold cartwheel luster that sweeps brilliantly across the near-GEM surfaces. Sharply struck up devices stand out and have a bold definition. The most delicate dusting of peripheral clear gold accents the surfaces and enhances the eye appeal. Just a few of the tiniest ticks keep this coin from an even higher grade. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 35, NGC 18. The most recent example sold in August 2021 for $40,800 and we sold one in December 2019 for $42,300. the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $58,000. There are just three coins graded higher. A PCGS MS65 CAC sold in November 2020 for $288,000 and the PCGS MS66 Coronet coin sold in our October 2015 sale for $587,500. This near-GEM will fit nicely in an AMAZING set of Morgan dollars. An important opportunity for the advanced collector. Cert. Number 44549648 PCGS # 7272
