Lot 2011		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-58. Lots of frosty mint luster. Looks like a strictly BU example with its free-flowing luster and attractive surfaces. Only 350,000 of the 1889-CC were minted. Most that are seen nowadays are heavily circulated and tend not to have this coin's valuable "eye-appeal." (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 2012		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45. Nice strike with even natural toning, the color ranges from natural old-silver gray with areas of russet brown.

Lot 2015		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded VG-8. A classic "key date" from the Carson City Mint. The wear is even on both obverse and reverse.

Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $546

Lot 2019		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. White and well struck. The snowy white color is especially revealing with only here and there a stray contact mark or two.

Lot 2026		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck. white and frosty. The wintry blast of white luster is utterly pleasing on the cheek, the eagle, and throughout the fields.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,485
Lot 2027		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice original toning. A frosty and exceptionally lustrous specimenthat has beautiful fields and devices.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
Lot 2028		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62 Prooflike. Mostly white. A tiny mark on the jaw line but generally sleek and choice, and almost swimming in choice mint reflection. A popular CC-mint date (PCGS # 7207) . Estimated Value $700 - 900. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $633
Lot 2029		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Well struck and toned. A lustrous, and nicely preserved coin with typical richly frosted fields and devices (PCGS # 7206) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $656

Lot 2033		1891-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. White and well struck for this date with only moderate soft detail in the centers, over the ear and on the eagle's breast. 1891-O seems plagued by weak strikes as though the mint left the dies running well past their worn point, well past their time for removal from the press (PCGS # 7208) . Estimated Value $250 - 275. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $311
Lot 2034		1891-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Mostly white with a hint of gold tone (PCGS # 7210) . Estimated Value $90 - 110. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $98
Lot 2035		1892 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. A white gem. The surfaces seem to dance from side to side with boiling silvery color, and quite lustrous from the deep mirrors imparted by the dies. Dates from the 1890s in particular have strong cameo contrast between the devices and fields. It is this cameo quality that gets your attention and, at times, causes a dreamy look to filter into the eyes of a silver dollar collector hoping to acquire one. Pop 8; 5 finer in cameo. Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2036		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Lovely gold, sunset-red and lilac toning on both sides. Pop 53. As with most Proof Morgan Silver dollars, the designs were sharply impressed by the well-made, carefully polished dies. This imparted detail one can only dream about seeing in a more typical business-strike 1892. Proofs totaled 1,245 pieces. This was somewhat in advance of prior and later years, but with the introduction of the new Barber coinage that year, extra collector interest caused the increase in sales. Proofs of 1892, however, are actually no more common than Proofs of 1891 or 1893, and grade-for-grade, bring similar prices realized in auctions (PCGS # 7327) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,530
Lot 2037		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. White and well struck, an unquestioned premium quality example with vibrant, nearly untoned surfaces and a crisp strike (PCGS # 7212) . Estimated Value $300 - 350. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 2038		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Mostly white with semi reflective surfaces. Should be prooflike on the PCGS holder (PCGS # 7212) . Estimated Value $275 - 325. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $345
Lot 2039		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck and white. Swirls of silvery cartwheel luster with richer texture than average for an 1892-CC. Topping this, the dies left their rigid impression behind without the least weakness or imprecision, which should be of prime importance to bidders looking for the best. Unlike some of the other Carson City Mint dates in the Morgan Dollar series, the '92-CC was not found in the 1962-1964 Treasury Department releases to any extent. It seems that when the federal government halted distribution from this source in March 1964, only a single example of this issue remained. Nevertheless, numismatists have never really considered the 1892-CC to be a rare coin in Gem Mint State, at least not in an absolute sense, but events are beginning to sway that impression. Since most examples at that level are noticeably (if not heavily) bagmarked, however, the this particular example is a well-respected condition rarity at or above the Gem threshold (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,338
Lot 2040		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. In a old green holder. Light toning around the edges. Otherwise mostly white. No deviation in the sharp relief seen, not even in the centers of the coin which can, on occasion, be indifferently struck. The 1892-CC silver dollar is much scarcer than the heavily distributed commoner CC-mint dates from the GSA hoards, 1890-CC and 1891-CC. Only a few, it seems, were on hand in the Treasury vaults when the government distributed these to collectors (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 2041		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Nice white coin with a touch of golden brown along the edge; minor strike weakness over the ear and on the eagle's breast, but this is consistent with other 1892-CC dollars in Mint State 63 (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,783
Lot 2042		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. AU-58. White and frosty. Accompanied by a PCGS tag confirming the grade. Estimated Value $500 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 2043		1892-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice white example. The silvery luster on both sides twirls with a somewhat satin texture and then turns to light golden color as it near the extreme edge. Lacking just a bit of striking detail on ear and central part of the eagle's breast, this is still a high quality example of an elusive O-mint date from the early 1890s (PCGS # 7216) . Estimated Value $500 - 550. The Kazpar Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 2044		1892-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60 Plus Prooflike. A few minor hairlines. Nice white example. With the exception of the faint hairlines and a thin line across the lower part of Liberty's face, this is one heck of an 1892-S silver dollar. If you say the word "flashy" to yourself that is what this charmer brings to mind. For the coin has what it takes to please just about every fancier of rare dates: needle-sharp relief on the hair and especially a bold frosted white eagle; sleek mirrors that are so deep you could pluck your eyebrows in them, so to speak. The rarity of 1892-S in Mint State quality is legendary. Where did they all disappear to? Were many taken from Treasury vaults and melted in 1918 along with the 200+ million other silver dollars that met the same fate? We'll never know, but 1892-S stands as a landmark offering in this condition. Bear that in mind when bidding. Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000. The Kazpar Collection. Previously, Jack Lee Collection.
