1903-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 (NGC). A frosty to modestly semi-prooflike Choice Mint State example to represent this scarce, conditionally challenging issue. Vividly toned around the borders, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced Morgan dollar set. Simply put, the 1903-S is one of the rarest Morgan silver dollars in Mint State. A relatively limited mintage of 1,241,000 coins is partly to blame for this, but the real culprit is its distribution, or rather 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 mintage succumbed to melting pursuant to the 1918 Pittman Act. Here is a significant bidding opportunity for quality conscious Morgan dollar collectors. Provenance: From the Rick Collection of Silver Dollars, Part II. PCGS# 7288. NGC ID: 256T.
