Lot 3188
1901 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Fully white and a nice strike. A popular date as the mint state example is very rare. A radiant example, fully struck with bright silver color that rises and falls in an almost rhythmic display from the sleek mirrors. It is easy to see this piece was delivered a hard blow by the dies, or as some researchers believe, the dies were nearly new and carefully set in the equipment to impart the requisite force to the cameo frosted devices, and which imparted their sharpness to the struck planchet leaving behind this impressive looking result! If it comes to you like a flash that 1901 is no ordinary coin, then be reminded this year's circulation strikes are all rare in high mint state grades. That is one reason why collectors turn to the few Proofs to satisfy their requirements. Only 813 proofs minted. Pop 5; 6 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7336) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
