A visually impressive coin for the assigned grade, essentially a FULL CHOICE example of this low mintage condition rarity. The economy took a plunge in 1893, causing a wide spread financial panic. The mintage of silver dollars dropped, with only 300,000 struck in New Orleans. This coin has a bold, swirling cartwheel brilliance on both sides, with a strong "flash" around the central fields of the reverse. For the date the strike is bold and deep with crisp definition. A few tiny ticks and marks are seen, which account for the modest grade assigned, but the eye appeal is bold, and no doubt in the old days this coin would have been called "CHOICE." PCGS 417, NGC 254, CAC 19. There are just 11 in MS62+ and this date is RARE finer. NO CAC approved MS62+ has ever sold in auction. We sold the most recent PCGS MS62+ for $4,230 in our January 2020 Regency Auction. In MS62 (no "+") the CAC CPG value is $5,000 and the Collectors Universe value is listed at $5,500 in MS62+. The value jumps to over $7,000 in MS63. Good luck! Cert. Number 20314227 PCGS # 7224.00
