Lot 1784		1886 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Attractive blue and golden toning. 886 minted. And the lovely mirrored surfaces are pretty close to Gem level, the surfaces being layered with toning that those who prefer the sacred originality of a well toned Proof (in opposition to one that has been dipped) will find inviting. Obviously stored for many years in the Mint-provided tissue wrapper common on pre-1916 Proof sets. Devices are definitely frosted, although this escapes notice on the PCGS holder which omits a Cameo title. Collectors will look upon this with interest. Pop 39; 33 finer (PCGS # 7321) .

Lot 1786		1886-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice white coin whose booming luster is only impacted slightly by a small scuff on Liberty's chin.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,530
Lot 1789		1889 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo PQ. Only 811 struck. Mostly untoned with golden toning around the edges. Lovely cameo contrast is seen on each side of this fully struck, carefully preserved Proof 63. Devices rest above deeply-mirrored, glittery fields. A few wispy hairlines are seen near in the fields but they are minor. Encased in a holder which mentions "Cameo," as a part of the coin's grade. Pop 16; 12 finer (PCGS # 87324) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,370

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $242
Lot 1791		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. Improperly cleaned. Our grade is MS63. Well struck with light hairlines. A very nice looking coin. Within the reach of serious Morgan dollar collectors, this is the rarest Carson City Mint issue. The 1889-CC was produced to the tune of just 350,000 pieces. When the mint (which had closed in 1885) did not reopen until mid-year 1889, there was only six months of production possible. Odd though it be, about half of the Mint States in collectors' hands are either prooflikes or deep mirror in finish. A very choice coin despite the light cleaning, the devices are boldly revealed between the luster on the relief surrounded in the satin white of the fields. Silvery brilliance throughout; a basically as sharp as any from a bank bag, and one that presents itself as very attractive. The few stray marks are minor enough that there isn't one we can single out as noteworthy (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $15,000
Lot 1792		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55. Well struck and mostly untoned. A popular key date Carson City mint Morgan since production topped out at a mere 350,000 pieces. Since the '89-CC circulated widely throughout the Western region of the country, the average grade is well worn, often Good or Very Good at best. Elusive to say the least in this outstanding, lustrous grade! Very few handling marks; and only a faint hairline on the cheek near the lips (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,038
Lot 1793		1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53 PQ. 350,000 struck. Mostly untoned and choice for the grade. Popular key date Carson City Mint Dollar. The luster is only slightly affected on the cheek by a few light grazes; fields are much choicer than average which easily earns it the PQ honor (PCGS # 7190) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,830
Lot 1794		1889-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. Frosty with a hint of gold tone, this is a choice example (PCGS # 7194) . Estimated Value $190 - 200. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $190
Lot 1795		1890 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 63. Lovely light gold toning, plus a nice strong cameo effect. Only 590 struck. Pop 32; 95 finer (PCGS # 7325) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,760
Lot 1796		1890 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Only 590 struck. Well struck with a hint of light gold tone near the edges. Mostly untoned. The fields have nice reflectivity when the coin is rotated under a light. A sharply struck example that has a few faint hairlines on the cheek. Fewer 1890-dated Dollars were minted in Proof than the more famous 1895, which makes the issue likely scarcer than the famous 1895 issue if one ignores the presence of business strike 1890-P dollars! Pop 32; 82 finer (PCGS # 7325) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,645
Lot 1797		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Light lilac toning near the edges. Well struck and choice, the lusters gleams in satiny originality (PCGS # 7198) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,323
Lot 1798		1890-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. Frosty and white (PCGS # 7198) . Estimated Value $400 - 425. The Carson City Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $506

Lot 1800		1890-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Choice and satiny with lovely gold, lilac and deep blue toning. In an old NGC holder. Estimated Value $200 - 226. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 1801		1891 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. A nice white coin. Only 650 struck. This piece is deeply mirrored in the fields with choice mint frost on the devices. The brilliant surfaces show just the lightest overlay of hairlines and a little natural haze. Pop 20; 13 finer (PCGS # 87326) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,220
Lot 1802		1891 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Very attractively toned featuring hues of gold and blue. In an old green label holder (PCGS # 7204) . Estimated Value $120 - 140. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $184
Lot 1803		1891-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Well struck, frosty, and mostly white; another choice example from this historic Western mint. Carson City struck coins from 1870 to 1893 with Silver Dollars being its main output (PCGS # 7206) . Estimated Value $500 - 550. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $575
Lot 1804		1892 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Only 1,245 struck. Well struck and mostly white. This is an expertly impressed coin, brilliant with traces of russet at the peripheries. A few obverse hairlines and cheek slide marks limit the grade (PCGS # 7327) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,610
Lot 1805		1892 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck and white. Very few survivors could possibly equal the choice technical merits and originality of this attractive MS63. In addition to its strong strike, both sides are gleaming with mint brilliance (PCGS # 7212) . Estimated Value $260 - 280. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $299
Lot 1806		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. The 1892-CC is among the more difficult dates in the CC-mint camp to acquire in Gem Mint State. The surfaces on this piece stream out frosty luster in every direction and the coin is boldly struck, perhaps barring a couple of fused hair waves over the ear. Toned with reddish gold at the lower obverse this then merges into lovely iridescent shades in many areas, some dappled, others banded. The surfaces are splendid, with only a few stray bagmarks on Liberty's cheek and a few very faint abrasions elsewhere, all consistent with the MS65 grade. Pop 283; 18 in 66, 2 in 67. (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,325
Lot 1807		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. A nice frosty white coin. Many of the early CC Mint dollars would be quite challenging in this condition or better, with full silvery radiance, and the 1892-CC would be no exception, were it not for the release of a Treasury Department hoard of 1878-CC to 1893-CC coins back in the 1970s. A lower mintage issue, only 1,352,000 dollars were struck at Carson City this year. The strike is slightly above average on this semi-key and is boldly impressed except at a few hair strands in the center above the ear (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,840
Lot 1808		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. Improperly cleaned but all in all a nice white coin with a few minor hairlines. Desirable CC Mint date (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,208
Lot 1809		1892-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53. Semi reflective surfaces and a well struck example of this scarcer CC Mint release (PCGS # 7214) . Estimated Value $550 - 600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $661
Lot 1810		1892-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. Deep midnight toning on both sides. Indeed, this is a nicely toned, lustrous, and uncommonly well preserved near-Gem that has a typical strike. Since Gems are both expensive and elusive, a pleasing near-Gem such as the present MS64 provides good value. Estimated Value $600 - 650. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,265
Lot 1811		1892-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded AU-55. Mostly untoned with nice eye appeal. A popular key date. Extensive luster confirms it ranking high within the AU classification (PCGS # 7218) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,783
Lot 1812		1893 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. A hint of light gold toning. Only 792 struck. The surfaces have a thin layer of toning haze. The portrait has a couple of hairlines, but the fields are choicer and generally well preserved. A well struck example (PCGS # 7328) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,840
Lot 1813		1893 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53. A nice white coin with a few tiny marks on the cheek and eyebrow. Lustrous. Low mintage P-mint date (PCGS # 7220) . Estimated Value $250 - 275. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $311
Lot 1814		1893-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. A nice white coin, frosty from top to bottom; most surviving Mint State 1893-CC dollars trace to the 1970s sale of the United States Treasury hoard of Carson City Mint dollars. This is especially nice surfaces and visual impact (PCGS # 7222) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,738
Lot 1815		1893-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck and untoned. Semi-reflective surfaces. The 1893 issues are scarce to rare depending on grade assignment as well as Mint of origin, with 1893-O boasting a low mintage, 677,000 struck. This piece is particularly attractive inasmuch as the devices are sharply struck. A full impression was made by the dies, including the key centers (where any weaknesss tends to occur). Earns special mention for this alone (PCGS # 7224) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,243
Lot 1816		1893-S $1. Fine-15. Lightly toned with some minor hairlines. Popular key date. Estimated Value $2,700 - 2,900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,128
Lot 1817		1893-S Morgan Dollar. Improperly cleaned. A popular key date in which all the main design features are clearly struck. The moderate wear shows little in the way of circulation injury such as handling marks, and certainly no rim bruises impact the value. In time, it will no doubt tone (as 90% coin silver usually does), and so the cleaning signs will be less observable. Only 100,000 minted (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,105
Lot 1818		1893-S Morgan Dollar. Improperly cleaned. A nice looking coin for the grade that will fit any circulated date-and-mintmark set of Morgan Silver Dollars (PCGS # 7226) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,553
Lot 1819		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Nice light even toning. Well struck. Only 972 minted. It has been several sales since we offered a choice representative of this, a scarce one from the middle years of the 1890s. For the grade, this is a nice coin. The surfaces reveal considerable reflectivity at most angles, some natural haziness overlays both sides. Sharply struck, the devices do not contrast much with the fields. Pop 62; 111 finer (PCGS # 7329) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,335
Lot 1820		1894 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 63. A glittering all white choice Proof example. Pleasing luster brilliance erupts across the frosted accents on the devices, while deep reflectivity forms a base at the edges of the design elements of this scarce Proof. There are a couple of light contacts in the obverse field. Nonetheless, the strike is strong including the central hair and eagle's breast. Only 972 struck (PCGS # 7329) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100. The Estate of Winthrop A. Haviland, Jr. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,105
Lot 1821		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. 110,000 struck. A frosty white coin from this low mintage issue, the surface much nicer than average which should please the new owner (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,450. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,668
Lot 1822		1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded EF-40. Evenly toned. A popular key date Morgan. 110,000 pieces struck of which merely 8,990 are estimated to have survived (PCGS # 7228) . Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1823		1894-S $1. MS-60 Plus. Lightly toned around the edges. Some minor hairlines, though these barely intrude on the nice luster. Estimated Value $400 - 450. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 1824		1894-O Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Nice gold and light blue toning. All but priced out of affordability as a Gem, the 1894-O is one of the leading Morgan Dollar rarities in the higher Mint State grades. In all, 1.7 million coins were produced; however, locating an attractive one is difficult. Most are weighed down by poor striking, and the luster may also be sub-par for the type. The present MS64 is not a fully struck coin, but the chief features save for those over the central highpoints are in fact bold. Even the focal area are not all that softly impressed. Best of all, the luster is vibrant with a frosty finish under the toning on this high-end example (PCGS # 7230) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,060
Lot 1825		1894-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. Mostly untoned in the centers with gold toning around the edges. Minor scratch from the eye to the nose; light luster grazing along the jaw, accounted for in the grade. 1894-O tends to have soft, attractive satin luster (PCGS # 7230) . Estimated Value $1,050 - 1,100. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,438
Lot 1826		1895 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo PQ. A popular key date. Proof-only. Mostly untoned and very attractive. This splendid Gem combines vibrant silvery iridescence highlighting the devices while being surrounded by pools of deep mirror reflection from the field on both sides. Of all Morgan Silver Dollar dates including the major varieties, the 1895 has by far the lowest mintage. Just 880 Proofs were struck, plus, it seems, no circulation strikes at all. For many years a circulation-strike mintage figure of 12,000 was bandied about in print, but Henry T. Hettger and numismatic author Q. David Bowers effectively put the kibosh on that idea a few years back, based upon Hettger's research in the National Archives. Indeed, although the information was lost to a later generation of numismatists, they were able to find scattered references soon after the 1895 was minted that only Proofs were struck. Today it may be that 600 to 700 Proofs survive from the original mintage. Most are lower grades, however, and a fair percentage of them have been dipped to make them appear "brilliant." The present coin, while it has a few trivial hairlines, is a solid Gem, almost pristine in its overall appearance; breathtaking, beautiful and, indeed, one of the finest Proof 65 specimens we have ever offered. The eye appeal as offered here is finer than on some "ordinary" Proof 66s we've seen. However, it is your money that backs up your bid, so examine it and decide for yourself. Pop 10; 7 finer (PCGS # 87330) . Estimated Value $50,000 - 55,000. The Cypress Estate. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $71,875
Lot 1827		1895-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Frosty and mostly untoned, though some bagmarks on the face. Vivid brilliant luster with a strong strike. A scarce issue.

Lot 1828		1895-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Frosty and untoned. And one whose silvery brilliance will draw attention from far across the room. A last minute consignment, too late to send to the services.

Lot 1829		1895-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Light lavender obverse toning while the reverse is totally white. A frosty, well struck example of this elusive S-mint date.

Lot 1830		1895-S Morgan Dollar. MS-60. Mostly untoned with slightly prooflike surfaces on both sides. A last minute consignment, too late to send to the services. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. The Fedorchuk Estate. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,105
