Lot 1809
1891-O Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. A better than average strike with the breast feathers nearly full. The cheek is remarkably clean of marks. All attractively toned in shades of violet and Iridescent blue. As Morgan specialists know all too well, the 1891-O is one of the most difficult dates in the series to obtain in Gem condition. Few coins can be located with a decent strike and minimal abrasions seem to be the norm, making MS65 a grade of the utmost rarity. This piece lacks full high point detail, but does show some design over the ear and moderately well brought up feathers on the eagle's breast. There are only a few abrasions, most of which are on tiny enough they are easily missed, with the reverse being remarkably clean. Struck from unclashed dies. Pop 70; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7208) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
Ex Dr. Hesselgesser.
