Lot 1030		1893. NGC graded MS-65. A well struck beauty and a gem that is bascially untoned. Easy to see this is a rare coin in this lofty grade. Beautiful silver surfaces accompany bold striking at the center of the obverse and reverse. Very few marks in the field, and those on the eagle mostly concealed. One of just 378,000 pieces struck, which is a modest mintage within the often prolific context of the Philadelphia Mint.

Lot 1040		1896-O. PCGS graded MS-63. A brilliant frosty untoned example. A pleasing array of rich luster dances on the surfaces of this elusive '96-O Morgan dollar. A small region of striking weakness is seen at the center on the obverse and reverse, but the present prize is still in the front ranks in terms of beauty.

A Premium Quality example due to its eye appeal. Raised devices, which are needle-sharp in all areas, show their finer details due, in great measure, to the satiny surface imparted from the die. Pop 10; 1 finer in 68 (PCGS # 7334) . Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000. The Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $14,375

Lot 1045		1899-O. NGC graded MS-67.

Lot 1046		1899-S. PCGS graded MS-66. A blast white gem with near immaculate surfaces including the cheek and neck.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,553
Lot 1049		1901-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck and mostly white. A sparkling coin bursting with luster, untoned and brilliant in appearance. The surfaces are clear of marks save for a couple of little ticks below the eye and a few grazes in the frost before the face. This minor points in no way remove the coin from easily satisfying the requirements for a Gem MS65 grade. The only weak spot in the strike is seen at the topmost hair curls above Liberty's ear. The eagle's breast (which sometimes mimics this weakness, is, on the contrary, as strongly detailed as any we have seen and makes this side of the coin all the more impressive. A worthy candidate! Pop 218; 28 finer, 27 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7276) . Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1050		1902. PCGS graded Proof 64 PQ. Light gold toning. Only 777 pieces struck. Impressive in terms of surface quality, both sides are all-brilliant rather than frosted on the devices and other than for the veil of golden color, virtually tone-free. The devices were struck smack on the dot at the required force by the dies, thereby leaving all design elements plain and clear-cut. Not even an iota of weakness is found. The numerical grade seems to be conservatively assigned. Pop 80; 40 finer (PCGS # 7337) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,450

Lot 1055		1904-O. NGC graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Beautiful obverse toning. A blisteringly colorful Gem Mint State. In an old NGC holder (PCGS # 7292) . Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $776
Lot 1056		1904-S. PCGS graded MS-65. A nice white coin. Most will agree the supply of 1904-S Dollars in dealers' stocks was sizeable enough to meet collector after the end of the Second World War; however, this date is now realized to be very scarce in Mint State. As so often happens, most Uncirculated survivors are bagmarked examples with uninviting luster or poor striking detail. Which is why this solidly graded Gem we expect will bring forth strong bids and lots of floor action at the time it sells. At the MS65 level of preservation, the 1904-S has a low certified population (see below). The luster is satiny in sheen with more than mere hints of brightness in the fields. The strike, while not completely full in the center, clearly outranks the average issue with bold definition in virtually all other areas. A smooth Gem that earns it a premium bid. Pop 112; 12 finer, 1 in 65+, 9 in 66, 2 in 67 (PCGS # 7294) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1057		1921. NGC graded MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck and totally white with nice mirror surfaces. Sleek in color frosty devices seesaw with the surrounding field whose reflective quality is unusual to find in a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar. At best, it is not easy even a baggy prooflike specimen. So too crisp definition on the main devices counts for a lot. Mathematically exact standards are seen in the sharp hair curls and so too, the eagle's plumage. Pop 7; none finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1058		1921-S. NGC graded MS-66+. A very gemmy frosty white specimen. The powerfully struck, lustrous surfaces are readily appreciable at all angles. This is an important issue among Gem quality date-and-mintmark collectors who prize any eye-catching Morgan Silver Dollar. No one can honestly deny the vibrancy of the surfaces, here. This, too, shows in the fully struck devices exhibiting fine detail to all the high points. Pop 1; 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7300) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,475
Lot 1059		1921-S. NGC graded MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Frosty and white (PCGS # 7300) . Estimated Value $700 - 800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $661
Lot 1060		1921-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Mostly white with a touch of tone here and there. Desirable S-mint issue. Morgan Dollar production was suspended in 1905. When a new law went into effect, the Philadelphia Mint hurried into production new dies for the three mints from a new Morgan hub. This was a stop-gap measure since the 1921 Peace Dollar dies weren't ready until the end of the calendar year. Pop 721; 30 finer (PCGS # 7300) . Estimated Value $650 - 700. The Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $863
Lot 1061		1921-S. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and totally white, a desirable Gem BU example of this final S-mint release for the Morgan Dollar design which lasted from 1878 until 1921 (PCGS # 7300) . Estimated Value $650 - 700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
