Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 3125		1890 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67 Cameo. Blue and gold toning with the centers white. Only 650 proofs struck. The stupendous example offered here not only shatters the normally seen striking woes, but its sparkling surfaces border on perfection underneath the heavenly toning. In fact, we can state confidently that this piece must have been retained in original Mint-issue Proof coin tissue paper for the better part of a century to have acquired its resplendent "spotlight" toning. Struck with systematic exactness throughout, and typical for these well-made Proofs of 1890, there is no need to focus on the central part of the hair and eagle's breast where a somewhat rounded impression is often left by the dies. This coin is decidedly bold, crisp, and fully detailed in these key areas, as elsewhere. A stellar offering! Pop 4; 1 finer in 68. (PCGS # 87325) . Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $14,950
Lot 3126		1890 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Lovely toning on both sides. An appealing fresh spot-light toned specimen, fully struck, and unmarred by discoloration or contact marks. An immaculate silver dollar. Quite difficult to encounter in this nice a grade showing full watery mirrors. About as razor-sharp as these are apt to be found, with just terrific detail in the hair, cap and eagle. Any sharper and a buyer would be forced to wear protective leather gloves! 590 proofs minted. Pop 23; 14 finer. (PCGS # 7325) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,763
Lot 3127		1890 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Lovely gold,blue and lilac toning on both sides. Only 590 proofs struck. This piece displays attractive surfaces and razor-sharp detail over the abrasion-free surfaces and is one of the more charming (and originally toned) Morgan dollar Proofs we have been privileged to offer. A coin in its prime, as it were, and fortune has the habit of making such a coin disappear at once when it comes up for sale in a single evening. Better act swiftly. Pop 19; 24 finer; 14 in 66; 10 in 67. (PCGS # 7325) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,313
Lot 3128		1890 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck, white and choice. A frosty specimen of this P-mint issue. Pop 248; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 7196) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,150
Lot 3129		1890 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and white. This date is notoriously softly struck, this one is an exception (PCGS # 7196) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,150
Lot 3130		1890 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Mostly white with excellent surface that are exceptionally clean (PCGS # 7196) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,320
Lot 3131		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. White with semi reflective surfaces. Frosty fields are usually seen on this date, but a few, a blessed few, substitute the cartwheel luster with nice prooflike evidences. The more matte designs of Liberty and the eagle stand out nicely against this brilliance. No toning, just silver-white color. Pop 53; 2 finer in 66. (PCGS # 7198) . Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,830
Lot 3132		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64 Deep Prooflike. Lightly toned around the edges. Unsurpassable in terms of surface preservation for the much scarcer CC-mint issue of 1890, both sides are thickly frosted on the devices, mirror-smooth in the fields, and essentially tone-free except at the margins, as noted. Any collection of Carson City Mint dates will be nominally ruled over by this handsome deep prooflike specimen like a king in his castle. Pop 116; 7 finer in 65. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3133		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Fabulous deep electric blue toning on obverse. Reverse is a blending of violet and blue. Worthy of a premium bid (PCGS # 7198) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 3134		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Frosty and white. A lustrous example, fully struck with rippling silver color; very choice surfaces approach gem quality (PCGS # 7198) .

Lot 3135		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Toned. A well struck example of this desirable CC-mint dollar (PCGS # 7198) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3136		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. The holder incorrectly states "1890-S". A totally white "CC" mint dollar (PCGS # 7180) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $720
Lot 3137		1890-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Mostly white. There is much to say about the beautiful surfaces of this 1890-O silver dollar since they are far nicer than average, a quality rarely offered. The mint frost seems to glow with intensity over each side. There is just a bit of light patina as well. A solidly graded, premium quality Gem, this coin also displays impressive striking definition for a Silver Dollar from this branch mint. Pop 329; 18 in 66. (PCGS # 7200) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,093
Lot 3138		1890-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A lovely blazing white coin (PCGS # 7200) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $978

Lot 3140		1890-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-66. Light mottled russet toning about the borders. Lustrous fields wave and undulate with original mint bloom. Against this are set nicely subdued, matte design elements. The toning adds yet another dimension. A lovely gem (we're tempted to say a "lively" gem). Pop 114; 5 finer in 67. (PCGS # 7202) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,185

Lot 3144		1891 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. Snow white super gem! Elusive and quite costly as a Gem Proof, this superb example is free of noticeable hairlines and has flashy fields surrounding the cameo devices. The strike, the coin's most desirable feature, is 100% complete. Even for the generally well made Proofs, this piece is far ahead of others that may be marketed in the future. We're sure that the many bidders who miss out on this attractive coin will glace from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven after the bidding is over, and then wonder why they didn't post a stronger bid on it. Only 650 proofs minted. Pop 11; 2 finer.; 1 in 68; 1 in 68 Star. (PCGS # 7326) . Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $9,085
Lot 3145		1891 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A nice white coin. Very scarce in this exciting Gem grade. A satiny P-mint coin with strong fundamental luster, full and swirling. Nicely struck, and more than a little so -- in fact, close enough to full where strong emphasis is merited. Indeed, the strike of the present 1891 easily rivals that of a high grade specimen. Pop 82; 3 finer; 2 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 7204) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 3146		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. White and semi reflective. A radiant example, fully struck with silver color that rises and falls in an almost rhythmic display. A fair number of baggy Unc. 1891-CC dollars got released when the U.S. Treasury Department opened its vaults for public sale back in the 1950s and 1960s. Others were offered in the GSA sales of the early 1970s. But of the thousands of low-end survivors, the high end coins have very low population, as these statistics reveal: Pop 109; 9 finer; 8 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 7206) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000. The Greenhill Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,910

Lot 3153		1891-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64 Deep Prooflike. A touch of tone rests about the borders. Typical for the San Francisco silver dollars made in 1891, the coin we offer is a well-struck example with sharp details. It has no bothersome abrasions or points of wear. NGC reports 37 at this level with 4 in 65 DPL as finest. Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 3157		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo. A nice white coin. Bright and lustrous pale yellow gold with some deeper accents in the sheltered regions within the devices. A high quality quarter eagle from the second year of Charlotte Mint coinage operations, and the last of two years in which the obverse mintmark is placed on the obverse; the mintmark was moved to the reverse of the denomination in 1840 with the introduction of Gobrecht's coronet head of Liberty, where it remained through the end of the denomination in 1929. Most 1839-C quarter eagles show some recutting at the 9, with some arguing for a 9/8 overdate and others pointing to 9/9 as the true variety. Winter lists both varieties in his comprehensive tome on the series. Regardless of its variety attribution, we are met with a lively and lustrous Mint State example of one of the most desirable of all Classic Head branch mint gold issues. The slightly increased total of 1,245 Proofs minted is attributed to the introduction of the Barber coins this year, occasioning sales to one-time buyers. Pop 8; 2 finer in 68. (PCGS # 87327) .
