Lot 485
Morgan Dollar. 1889. NGC graded Proof 67. The Jack Lee specimen. And a fabulous coin it is, the obverse shows powerful contrast between the fields and devices. All is toned a delicate gold color mostly around the periphery. Perfectly centered and struck, with each device full, as expected from Proof issues. The Philadelphia Mint really geared up their quality as the century drew to a close, with coinage from this era showing far better quality than the preceeding hundred years, and often better than those proofs issued after the turn of the 20th century. Incredibly deep mirroring in the fields and superb in every respect.
