Lot 1773
1904-S. PCGS graded MS-63. Totally white. A small obverse mark by Liberty's eye and ear otherwise MS64 and a blazer. In 1904, the supply of silver bullion finally dried up, and the Morgan dollar ended what the public must have thought was its long storied career. The San Francisco Mint ended strong with a delivery of 2.304 million coins, limited numbers of which were released through the 1940s through 1950s. David Bowers, in his Buyer's Guide to Silver Dollars of the United States, estimates that as many as 2 million succumbed Mint melting. Despite this, a fair number of specimens are available in the in low BU grades. Bowers finds no accounts of any being in the 1962-1964 Treasury release, and apparently none was in the Redfield estate (PCGS # 7294) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.
