Lot 1120
1903-S Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-63. A nice white coin with some gold tone near the date. A popular key date. Unlike the preceding and following S-mint dates from 1896 to 1904 in this series, the 1903-S is a remarkably rare coin in the choice Mint State grades despite an adequate original mintage of 1.2 million pieces. It seems that many were included among the 270 million+ silver dollars that the U.S. government destroyed under the provisions of the Pittman Act of 1918. Bright and scintillatingly lustrous, and neither side reveals any singularly distracting bagmarks. A bold strike adds to this coin's list of positive attributes. Pop 65; 145 finer, 94 in 64, 42 in 65, 8 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7288) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
