Lot 3131
1878 Morgan Dollar. 8 tail feathers. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Fully white coin and well struck. Only 500 proofs struck. Virtually ice-white fields spread light from their in a tight gradient from the deep mirrors and advantageously frosted main devices. Far in advance of most, this was struck with systematic exactness including (not excepting) the usual weak spots in the center such as hair at the ear and the feathers on the eagle's breast. If the idea is absolutely new to you of acquiring a nice looking, "fresh from the dies" Proof Morgan silver dollar, a flashy Gem, then this lovely 1878 first-year coin should be just the one to consider. There are no concealed problems with it, no spots or marks but instead simply beautiful surfaces and overall preservation. Do not resist the impulse to bid. For once you do, and once you purchase it, you will gradually acquire a taste for other Proofs in the series. And who knows, maybe someday an entire Proof date run of Morgans will be auctioned with the provenance noted as belonging to a very important collector. Pop 4; 12 finer. (PCGS # 7311) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.

1879-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64 DPL. Untoned with nice mirror surfaces. Popular coin. Pop 11; 1 in 65 DPL. For the date, a frosty on the main devices (very frosty, in fact), and swirling with prooflike reflection from the near-gem quality fields with full flash and sparkle on both sides. Attractively struck as well, unlike many 1879-CC dollars with their weak centers, this having just a hint of softness at the topmost hair curls above the ear. The '79-CC is one of the scarcest issues in the Morgan dollar series, often a roadblock to completing a choice set, and this coin is among the most attractive to show the advantageous deep mirror effect. Note the high quality of Liberty's profile, which shows only the minutest of bagmarks. The contrast on this coin is very noticeable, with the mirror fields receding from the frosted devices. Mintage for this year is 756,000, with many placed into circulation and only a few that turned up in the Treasury releases of the 1960s to 1970s. This is one of the most attractive examples we have offered in its grade class (PCGS # 97087) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.

Both sides display the typical "look" for this CC-mint delivery: thickly frosted devices, rolling cartwheel effects in the smooth mirror surface that surrounds, and boldly struck devices. A solidly graded example, this coin displays above-average definition for a Morgan dollar from 1883. This is to say that the strike is complete, not even a single weak hair strand over Liberty's ear to keep this Gem from being full. Pop 602; 97 finer; 95 in 66; 2 in 67. (PCGS # 97145) .

1884-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. Lovely light golden toning and a nice strike. Very scarce date in Unc. A fresh, fully struck, and thoroughly enjoyable toned specimen of this scarce year and branch mint. As has been commented on before, most 1884-S dollars reached circulation. Few were saved at the time. Fewer still ever turned up in Treasury department or secondary market hoards. To make a point of this, the vast holdings of the LaVere Redfield estate, with its 450,000+ mostly S-mint dates, failed to have more than a few 1884-S examples, while other dates nearby were found in multiple bag quantities. A landmark coin in any Mint State grade. Pop 89; 52 finer. (PCGS # 7156) .

1887 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. Nice mostly white coin with a hint of light gold toning. 710 proofs struck. The surfaces are radiant, pulsing with silvery color, and quite lustrous. Furthermore, do not expect to see the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the (sometimes ill-prepared) dies that made this year's coinage, for we are glad to report the opposite is true. This is a very solid, very bold coin with sharp centers including all hair details and all feathers on the eagle. It is hard to come to grips with this piece as being anything but a Gem, desperately hard to agree that the grade is "merely" Proof 64. But the graders at NGC have spoken, which means the bidders who crave high-end coins will end up with a very attractive, eye-appealing specimen. Pop 2; 18 finer. (PCGS # 7322) .

1892 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. 1,245 proofs minted. A lovely white coin. A coin bursting with silvery afterglow, untoned and blazing white in appearance. The surfaces highly reflective and best of all are clear of marks, spots, or hairlines.

This year 2006 is an off-year election. In 1892, the year this silver dollar made its appearance, the two front-runners for the presidency were President Benjamin Harrison, a Republican, and Grover Cleveland, a Democrat. The main difference between the parties in 1892 was their position on the tariff, the hot-button issue of the day. The Republicans supported a high tariff rate, whereas a substantial wing of the Democratic party pushed through a platform plank that demanded import taxes for revenue only and instead, an Income Tax. The Populists, a third party in the scuffle for control, called for government ownership of the railroads and monetary reform, confronting these issues in a way the two major parties did not. Cleveland, avenging his defeat of 1888, won the presidency.

We have handled a fair share of 1893-CC dollars, business strikes and now and then one of the rare Proofs (yes, there were Proofs minted of this branch mint date). Few come as close to gem quality as this very attractive, almost pristine MS64 example. Both sides are richly frosted and pearl white luster.

1893-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. White and frosty. Pop 823; 384 in 64; 7 in 65. The satin-like luster is only lightly impacted by abrasions of any size due to one coin getting in touch with another in the bag. Fresh silvery bright fields and devices make for an impressive appearance. Also, the strike is strong for the date, with just a touch of softness over the ear of Liberty.

It bears repeating: after the 1889-CC and 1879-CC, the 1893-CC is the most hard to pin down Morgan Dollar from the Carson City Mint in choice condition. It is, of course, an historically significant coin in being the final silver dollar struck at the Nevada branch mint -- a importance that serves to raise its popularity among specialists. This is an issue that was never available in large numbers. None were in Redfield. Only a few in The GSA distribution of the 1970s. When Mint State coins are offered, they tend to be one at a time, with the typical example bagmarked and confined to the lower Mint State grade range (PCGS # 7222) .

Lot 3179
1893-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded VF-25. Lightly toned with choice overall details and clean, problem-free rims.

Only 100,000 minted of the 1893-S silver dollar (PCGS # 7226) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
