1893-O $1 MS (PCGS#7224)

The Regency Auction 38

详细说明: What an exceptional, borderline GEM example of this important KEY Morgan dollar rarity! The mintage of 300,000 is tiny in the context of Morgan dollars, one of the lowest in the long and popular series, and as the financial Panic of 1893 worsened, few examples were saved for posterity, and any that might have been held in treasury vaults were melted en masse in 1918 under the auspices of the Pittman Act. While available in lower grades, it is RARE in Mint State, especially so in MS64+ and finer. A truly marvelous example of the date, with a full, vibrant pearly-silver mint brilliance. Generally well struck with frosty texture on the devices. We note a touch of the typical weakness on the highest points of hair curls above Liberty's ear. Silken smooth surfaces are free of any contact of any kind that distracts the eye. Wonderfully preserved, this coin is about as close to GEM quality as you will get without spending six figures! PCGS 102, NGC 39, CAC 15. There are three MS64+s graded at NGC, none have ever sold in auction. While no NGC examples have sold in auction, PCGS/CAC examples have sold for a wide range of prices from $23,400 to $42,300. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $32,500 and keep in mind that two years ago, an NGC MS65 sod for $132,000! What a great coin for any high end Morgan dollar collection. Good luck, bidding will be intense! Cert. Number 4932270-004 PCGS # 7224.00
