- 1903-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.
Satiny surfaces are predominantly smooth and very close to a finer grade. Otherwise brilliant, blushes of pale champagne-apricot iridescence hug the denticles. The 1903-S is one of the rarest Morgan silver dollars in Mint State. A mintage of 1,241,000 coins is partly to blame for this, but the real culprit is its distribution, or rather the lack thereof. With well worn survivors in grades such as Good and VG relatively obtainable, it seems likely that a fair number of 1903-S dollars entered circulation shortly after striking. Later releases of Mint State coins were few and far between, which suggests that much of the original mintage succumbed to melting pursuant to the 1918 Pittman Act. The present example, thoroughly PQ for the assigned grade, represents a significant bidding opportunity for quality conscious Morgan dollar collectors.
Provenance: From the Bimyway Collection.
PCGS# 7288. NGC ID: 256T.
