1893

Seller Description:
Tied for finest known prooflike 1893 Morgan Silver Dollar. CAC. PCGS Population: 2; none finer. MS-62 PL. PCGS Plate coin for the issue. Delightful sandy-silver, tan-orange and pale blue peripheral toning frames silver tinged centers. Boldly struck throughout, with an uncommon degree of reflectivity in the fields for an example of this semi-key date Morgan dollar issue. What makes this coin downright extraordinary is the Prooflike mirror fields. While commonly seen on some issues, it is virtually unheard of on the 1893 Philadelphia Morgan dollars struck. To date, PCGS records only four grading events in the Prooflike category for this date and mint and an additional five grading events with the Deep Mirror Prooflike contrast as noted in the PCGS Population Report. This gives the numismatist some guidance as to the incredible rarity of the 1893 Morgan dollar with this type of contrast. Mint State and circulated examples without this feature are plentiful by comparison, although scarce by Morgan dollar standards. The original mintage of 389,000 pieces offers a broad range of available coins today, but precious few with any mirror finish in the fields as found here. PCGS# 7221. NGC ID: 255R.
