Lot 1759
1902. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. CAC Approved. Mostly untoned with a hint of tone near the edges. Only 777 struck. Always in demand as a Proof issue, the 1902 has a limited original mintage and all, it seems, were produced in the all-brilliant format seen on silver coins of 1901-04 in particular. Demand for Gem quality survivors remains strong, principally because a complete date set of Proof Morgan Dollars absolutely requires careful inspection and long, laborious acquisition. Breathtakingly beautiful, this virtually untoned specimen allows ready appreciation of bold device detail. Whereas the main design features are deeply reflective in mint finish, their sharp texture is perhaps a bit bolder than others this year. Both sides are equally sharp in striking detail with a noteworthy absence of blemishes. Pop 20; 19 finer, 14 in 66, 4 in 67, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 7337) .
Estimated Value $3,700 - 3,900.
