Lot 2755		1893 and 1893-O. Fine to Very Fine. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $140 - 160 View details	Realized $265
Lot 2756		1893-CC. NGC graded MS-63. Choice semi reflective surfaces with a touch of delicate golden and russet toning about the borders. Popular Key Date CC mint issue. In an old NGC holder. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,600
Lot 2757		1893-S. AU-50 to AU-55. Well struck with plenty of semi reflective mint luster to justify this numerical grade. The surfaces are lightly toned with light mottled russet-grey. The rims are nice and clean with no discernible bag marks on either side worthy of note. Under magnification we do note a light milling mark on the cheek and eyebrow which is mentioned only for the sake of complete accuracy. A high grade yet "affordable" example of this popular key date. Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $25,300
Lot 2758		1893-S. EF-40. A most pleasing example of this popular key date. Completely original with lovely old album toning on both sides. The rims are clean and the surfaces are remarkably free from noticeable nicks and scratches. Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,475
Lot 2759		1894-S. PCGS graded MS-63 Prooflike. Well struck, with frosty Prooflike surfaces on both sides. A nice white, untoned example that offers lots of flash and eye appeal for the grade. PCGS reports 27 at this grade level, with 22 in MS-64 PL and only 2 in MS-65 PL (as the finest PL's available for the date). Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 2760		1894-S. MS-60. Light bag marks. Estimated Value $350 - 400 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $403
Lot 2761		1895-O. PCGS graded MS-61. An immensely popular, key date issue due to the rarity of fully Mint State examples. Mostly brilliant, with semi-reflective surfaces and a hint of golden color at the centers. Well struck, with nice feather and hair detail (a nice plus on this date). The MS-61 grade seems to derive mainly from the light scuffs that appear on both sides; otherwise, the luster, strike, and overall eye appeal are more indicative of an MS-64 grade. In the final analysis, we'd take this coin over a heavily bagmarked or poorly struck MS-63 any day -- and we suspect our bidding audience will express the same sentiment with strong bidding. PCGS reports 19 examples in MS-61 and only 52 finer -- not nearly enough to satisfy the intense demand from the thousands of collectors who love this series (PCGS # 7236) Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $14,375
Lot 2762		1895-O. NGC graded AU-58. A well struck example with nearly full breast feathers. Lots of semi reflective surfaces still intact. A decidedly rare coin in such high grade. Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,200 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2763		1895-O. PCGS graded AU-53. Nice, strong luster for the grade. Mostly bright and white, with very little actual wear -- just the usual weakness at the centers. This 1895-O Dollar becomes very pricey in Mint State, so AU-53 has become a very popular and sought-after grade for this date (PCGS # 7236) Estimated Value $900 - 1,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $690
Lot 2764		1895-O and 1895-S. VG-10. Each is problem free for the grade. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $175 - 200 View details	Realized $207
Lot 2765		1895-S. VF-20. Cleaned with an edge bump at 5 o'clock. Estimated Value $150 - 175 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $253
Lot 2766		1896. PCGS graded MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflike. A well struck gem that resembles a proof in appearance. Totally white. Estimated Value $400 - 500 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 2767		1896-O. PCGS graded MS-61. Another one of those "tough-in-Mint-State" Morgan Dollars. This one is milky white, with nice luster, but some light marks (mostly on the obverse). A nice alternative to the costly Choice to Gem examples of this date (PCGS # 7242) Estimated Value $900 - 1,050 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,150
Lot 2768		1896-S. NGC graded MS-67 Prooflike. One of the most important 1896-S Morgan Dollars ever to cross the auction block and certainly the finest Deep Mirror Prooflike example ever to appear on the market. This remarkable coin is well struck, with Prooflike surfaces on both sides and extremely light die polishing lines indicating a fresh re-surfacing of the dies. Completely original and fully deserving of the lofty MS-67 grade. Faint golden toning on both the obverse and the reverse -- not enough to diminish the cartwheel brilliance and just enough to confirm the original status of the surfaces. A fabulous coin that is sure to set a record for the date. As stated earlier, this is the only MS-67 1896-S DMPL graded by either NGC or PCGS. In fact, PCGS has yet to certify a DMPL example of this date. NGC has graded only two other DMPL's: one in MS-62 and one in MS-63. Consider this: 5,000,000 1896-S Silver Dollars were struck, yet this singular beauty remains as the ultimate example of the date. While most people are fighting over scraps in the modern Registry Sets, here's a chance to own the finest example of the date…not by one point, but by FOUR! Estimated Value $75,000 - 100,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2769		1896-S S over S. MS-63. White with a mixture of satiny and frosty mint surfaces. Scarce variety. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 2770		1897-O. PCGS graded MS-63. One of the tougher O-Mint Morgan Dollars to find in any grade, much less Mint State. This example is well struck for the date and has very light toning near the edges. Finding a nicer example is difficult, as PCGS has graded only 36 finer (PCGS # 7248) Estimated Value $2,700 - 3,200 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,680
Lot 2771		1897-O. AU-58. Toned. Estimated Value $150 - 200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $196
Lot 2772		1897-S. NGC graded MS-66. A nice white example with semi-reflective surfaces and satiny devices. Pop of only 12 with 2 in MS-67. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,265
Lot 2773		1897-S. MS-60 and better. Lot of 4 coins. Estimated Value $150 - 170 View details	Realized $230
Lot 2774		1898. Proof 66 Deep Cameo. A stunning, black-and-white cameo Proof Dollar pedigreed to the famed Wayne Miller Collection. This remarkable coin was the featured coin in Miller's 1982 tome, "The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook", where he called it one of the finest proof Dollars in existence. Housed in a specially inscribed, custom-made Capital Plastics type holder. In 1986, Miller's Silver Dollar collection sold for a then-record price of $1.2 million. There, this coin was called "Brilliant Proof 69"! Estimated Value $8,000 - 12,000 Superior Galleries "The Hoagy Carmichael and Wayne Miller Collections", January 1986, Lot 1393.

Lot 2776		1898-O. PCGS graded MS-67 M.J.O. on the holder. An exceptional gem white example with a hint of delicate golden toning about the extreme borders. Boldly struck with pristine mint surfaces that simply do not get better than this. Pop of 74 with none higher (PCGS # 7254) Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,500 From the M.J.O. Collection.
