Lot 3158
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) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
